  5. A.I. Assessment StudyFaculty Responses • Likelihood of ignoring suspected cheating • 96.7% unlikely or very unlikely to ignore • Likelihood of reporting the incident • 74.7% likely or very likely to report

  6. And yet . . . • Not all professors are putting info on syllabi about cheating. • Only 2/3 reported discussing their views about academic honesty with students. • Only 1/2 reported periodically reminding students of their obligations.

  7. Specific suggestions by faculty members for faculty members • Be a role model for ethical conduct. • Be aware of cultural differences regarding use of sources. • Update tests and exams for every class. Exams DO circulate. • Consider oral make-up exams. • Design courses so as to reduce cheating.

  14. Ted sees this girl consulting a book she pulled out of her bag. Ted sees this guy looking at his neighbour’s paper. Neither student is writing the exam Ted is proctoring.

  15. What should Ted do? • A. Stare the students down. • B. Find another proctor to assist. • C. Take the students’ exams and send them out. • D. Announce that two people have been caught cheating. • E. Take the book from the girl and move the guy. • F. Write down the students’ names and numbers. • G. Nothing. They’re not Ted’s students.

  16. Where an offence has occurred • The professor must report the alleged offence. • (See JA Form 2a) and assign an Incomplete. 2. The matter is referred to the Associate Dean via the Senate Office 3. The student meets with the Associate Dean. The AIO reviews the file and makes one of four decisions re resolution: informal / formal
