It’s about setting clear expectations and reducing the temptation to cheat in the first place. Tobin shares academic-integrity strategies that faculty can apply to tests, quizzes, and assignments in as little as 20 minutes, and assists faculty in determining where to focus efforts and where to safely stop paying attention to dishonest practices (and feel okay about it, too). Learn how to turn down the student impulse to act dishonestly through the implementation of some simple but powerful practices based in psychology and neuroscience.
