I haven't had a problem before with students cheating on tests. Usually I build a connection with the students and motivate them to want to do well in class. They usually end up not wanting to disappoint me. I also walk around the classroom to let them know that I genuinely care about their futures. I believe I am successful with that. However, cheating via plaigerism is another thing. One of the assignments in my class is a research paper. Students must paraphrase or use quotes from their resource materials. However, every now and again I will get a student who plaigerizes directly from internet sources (and they are so easy to find). Then they act as if they don't care or did it on purpose due to lack of time. Does anyone have any suggestions about how to deal with this situation? Or has anyone had this experience, as well.
