How Can I Minimize Cheating in the Classroom?
A new program begins Monday, February 9
Academic dishonesty is a particularly challenging problem. Dr. James M. Lang, author of Cheating Lessons: Learning from Academic Dishonesty and director of the Center of Teaching Excellence and an English professor at Assumption College, draws on his experience and his extensive research to show you how learning environment design plays a significant role in whether or not students cheat.
