  • “I was just someone who shared notes, and now I’m implicated in this,” said a senior who faces a cheating allegation. “Everyone in this class had shared notes. You’d expect similar answers.”

      Certainly not a defense for cheating.
  • “I felt that many of the exam questions were designed to trick you rather than test your understanding of the material,” “the exams are absolutely absurd and don’t match the material covered in the lecture at all,” “went from being easy last year to just being plain old confusing,” and “this was perhaps the worst class I have ever taken.”
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • “everybody went to the T.F.’s and begged for help. Some of the T.F.’s really laid it out for you, as explicit as you need, so of course the answers were the same.”
  • The exam instructions said it was “completely open book, open note, open Internet, etc.” Some students asked whether there was a fundamental contradiction between telling students to use online resources, but not to discuss the test with each other.

  • Are we meant to assume that students who are smart enough to get into Harvard don’t know that? Will the school later offer a course in why it is a bad idea to pour gasoline on a flaming toaster oven?
  • that looking successful is more important than being honest. They cheat because they have been taught, however unwittingly, that it is worth it.

  • The cadets are suspected of using an online math program called Wolfram Alpha, which markets itself as a “computational knowledge engine.” The system can offer answers to math questions similar to the way Google searches for websites based on a few words.

  • high achievers are just as likely to do it as others.
  • A recent study by Jeffrey A. Roberts and David M. Wasieleski at Duquesne University found that the more online tools college students were allowed to use to complete an assignment, the more likely they were to copy the work of others.

      Telling finding. Maybe summative assessments have to be given in class. 
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • An increased emphasis on having students work in teams may also have played a role.
  • Numerous projects and research studies have shown that frequently reinforcing standards, to both students and teachers, can lessen cheating. But experts say most schools fail to do so.
  • “When you start giving take-home exams and telling kids not to talk about it, or you let them carry smartphones into tests, it’s an invitation to cheating,” he said.
  • have found that most college students see collaborating with others, even when it is forbidden, as a minor offense or no offense at all. Nearly half take the same view of paraphrasing or copying someone else’s work without attribution.

Who's Cheating Whom? - 1 views

  • To put this point positively, cheating is relatively rare in classrooms where the learning is genuinely engaging and meaningful to students and where a commitment to exploring significant ideas hasn’t been eclipsed by a single-minded emphasis on “rigor.”  The same is true in “democratic classes where [students’] opinions are respected and welcomed.”[7]  
  • Cheating is particularly likely to flourish if schools use honor rolls and other incentives to heighten the salience of grades, or if parents offer financial inducements for good report cards[10] -- in other words, if students are not merely rewarded for academic success, but are also rewarded for being rewarded.

  • Moreover, grading causes students to be risk-prone. Research finds that students of all ages who have been led to concentrate on getting a good grade are likely to pick the easiest possible assignment if given a choice. Folks, 'F' is really the new 'A.'
  • Feedback is at the gist of a revolutionary assessment system. Notice the word "assessment." Assessment, unlike the current system, is an ongoing process directed at improving a student's learning. Iteration and failure are packed in.
  • "Assessment is not a spreadsheet -- it's a conversation." I propose that classrooms have daily crit sessions where fellow peers constructively criticize each other's work. This is a simple, yet very attainable solution.

  • Research has found that cheating is more common when students find their academic tasks to be boring, irrelevant, or overwhelming. This “drill, kill, bubble fill” culture is dangerous and inappropriate.
  • Interestingly, in progressive schools, where projects and real-world experiences often dominate learning, cheating is far less common. As educator John Dewey has noted, “School must represent present life.” If schools adopt this mantra, they probably will never witness a cheating incident on their grounds ever again.

    This article on cheating definitely relates to assessing student work.
