Cheating & Academic Integrity
Know you are not alone — many instructors have experienced (or currently struggle with) this topic. Consider reaching out to your school's teaching center, your campus committees, or professional colleagues to have discussions about these topics. And remember: TACTYC is here if you have questions.
Cheating happens despite our best intentions as instructors, and much of what leads a student to cheat is out of our control. But research shows instructor behavior can minimize cheating when students feel that they have individual relationships with their instructors; they have the opportunity and desire to engage with the material inside and outside of class; they have formed cohesive relationships with at least some of their classmates; the course is enjoyable overall; their time is well spent; and the course is well organized.¹
Fundamentally, better pedagogy creates a culture of authentic learning — which reduces cheating.
Grading
Interested in learning more about alternatives to traditional grading? Heard about "ungrading" or "specifications grading"? If you feel like your current grading system is capturing your students' ability to stockpile points rather than what they actually know, consider these resources.
Teaching with AI
Interested in leveraging AI to make your teaching even better? Here are some ways you can use it — from creating chatbots for your students to building interactive exercises that show students the common pitfalls of relying exclusively on AI.
