What is the most effective way to prevent students from cheating?
by
Sara Bernard
Establish and enforce serious consequences, such as suspension from school.
Make it difficult to cheat: Frequently change test format and questions, ban cell phones or other communication technology from the classroom, and separate desks so students can't see each other's exams.
Create an atmosphere where cheating is not only forbidden, it’s shunned. Character education is key in the prevention of cheating.
None of the above. (Comment below.)
