In my intro class I have a module on ethics. Part of that module has to do with cheating customers and why that is bad for business and society. I then share national statistics on student cheating. The high percentage of students, including those who are honors students, that cheat on exams and projects is alarming. My point is simple -- students cheat if give the chance for many reasons: hard to catch, no big deal if caught, no code of conduct, norm is to cheat, etc.
So it is test time for most of us. Here are a few videos on what students do to cheat in the hopes you might be the wiser and able to deter the cheaters. The craziest part of some of these videos on cheating have a commercial for bona fide companies advertising their products. Say, what?!
