Another option is to report the cheater to the professor. This is a somewhat easier route for those of us who are more non-confrontational to take. If you are not sure about the dishonesty of a student, you can always go to the professor and simply inform him or her of your suspicion. After that, the ball is in the professor's hands, and trust me many will be grateful for the information. It is also helpful if you make it known to the professor that you are willing to testify against the cheating student.
Students can also have an impact on other students outside of the classroom.
I'm sure that at some point in your college career you have been a party to a discussion that involved someone's triumph in cheating. In this situation you can make it known that you do not condone their cheating behavior. Make them aware of the fact that they are cheating both themselves and their fellow students. Perhaps if students and professors were more open to discussing cheating it might be lessened. It is maintained by Larry Gray, Director of Student Development.
