After all, especially if the professor grades on a curve, your grades are affected by others who may cheat. Professors can do a better job of patrolling their own classrooms and becoming aware of electronic devices going off, such as beepers. In my own case, I have banned beepers and pagers during exams. The good news is this. Honesty is rearing its head again.
Administrators can more strongly back their faculty members who see evidences of cheating.
The process for reprimanding and expelling the student can become smoother. Perhaps, the mountain of paperwork can be reduced. The student who cheated needs to have papers that say something in the file. Nearly 88 percent of those replying observed some form of cheating. My answer to that concern is document, document, and document.
