Common Themes from Windsor’s2006 AI Assessment Study
Faculty involvement is essential.Faculty play a “critical role in setting
the tone.”Faculty have a “front line chance” to
make a difference.Expectations must be clear.
A.I. Assessment StudyFaculty Responses
Likelihood of ignoring suspected cheating96.7% unlikely or very unlikely to
ignore
Likelihood of reporting the incident74.7% likely or very likely to report
And yet . . . Not all professors are putting info on
syllabi about cheating.Only 2/3 reported discussing their
views about academic honesty with students.
Only 1/2 reported periodically reminding students of their obligations.
Specific suggestions by faculty members for faculty members
Be a role model for ethical conduct. Be aware of cultural differences
regarding use of sources.Update tests and exams for every
class. Exams DO circulate.Consider oral make-up exams.Design courses so as to reduce
cheating.
