Cheating has never been easier, a professor laments in a new article. But he also offers three specific ways to curb the practice. Dr. Michael Hartnett knows a little bit about academic cheating: He’s been a teacher, professor and tutor for more than 20 years. As we all know, technology has made cheating easier than ever. But that doesn’t mean it has to be a losing battle. In his article titled
“3 Rules to Encourage a Cheat-Free Classroom,” Hartnett offers up three strategies to combat this age-old problem:
1) Ban electronic devices from the classroom. If calculators are needed for an exam, wipe out their memories before students get them.
2) Disallow bathroom breaks during exams.
3) Prohibit students from putting their hands below the tops of their desks. “Nothing good can come from students whose hands are hidden in their laps,” Hartnett says.
