Get Your Students Hired
Lack of studying and confidence in one abilities leads to cheating
Hey James,
I concur! There are some students who simply wants everything, but they do not want to work for anything.

Yes, lack of studying may be the main reason for cheating and I think that laziness may be a big factor also. The same students are the ones trying to manipulate you and your class.
Hi Darlisa,
Perhaps, this open conversation will deter the cheater. Make sure to keep a watchful eye on this student as well as other students. It seems as though you are observant as to what is going on in your classroom.

I was sent an e-mail from one of my students who informed me that a particular student was cheating on tests.
The next day of class I spoke to the entire class, reenforcing that cheating is cheating them as well as the instructor, classmates and potential patients that hold such a high regard for individuals in the medical field. I also gave open permission for anyone in the class to send an anonymous e-mail to me to report anyone else cheating.
To date, no more e-mails and no observed cheating in class. I actually observe more concentration.
Hi Shanika,
Students need to realize all they have to do is study so that confidence is built, and they won't have to cheat.
