Descripción: Academic dishonesty, including plagiarism and other forms of cheating, are perennial problems that seem to be flourishing in the 21st century. We know that academic dishonesty undermines student learning and even institutional integrity, but it is also really stressful for the students, teachers, and administrators who have to confront and deal with it. Our first task in the webinar will be to address the fact that there are widely varying ideas about what constitutes academic dishonesty among faculty and administrators. We will assess and share our definitions of academic dishonesty and consider how the differences and grey areas can be problematic. With the goal of preventing cheating from happening in the first place, we will explore two interrelated issues: why students cheat and how course design and classroom management strategies can promote or prevent cheating. Finally, we will consider strategies for detecting cheating when it happens and for talking to our students about the consequences in ways that don't compound the problem.
