The ED 104 revealed new ways to be a better instructor in classroon environment. Academic dishonesty can be in two forms: either outright cheating or plagiarism. To minimize cheating, I have placed a significant percentage of the student evaluationin the form of active student participation. I think it is important that in the classroom environment ethical responsibilities requiring trust and honesty are emphasized. It is also a good idea to develop different multiple tests with different questions and repeat the same test test or test questions over and over again. Regardless of the amount of trust bulit in a classroom situation, all tests must kept in a safe place or in a data bank and should never leave the room. The instructor is ethically responsible for this commitment to the students who are striving honestly to achieve their goals and make their grades.
