Cheating in the Classroom
Monday, August 15th, 2011
9:00-10:30AM
Wilby Room, Library

We all dread dealing with cheating in our classes. However, the more we know about best practices, the more likely we are to effectively promote academic integrity among our students. Join us for a discussion of best practices from prevention to enforcement. This interactive workshop will explore the data on factors that lead to - and deter - cheating, as well as the Georgia Tech faculty resources that are available to assist you in the promotion of academic integrity.
