Abstract:
An action research design was employed at a major university over a two-year period to explore and identify methods of student academic misconduct in order to gain a greater understanding of how to neutralize cheating in college. The research team consisted of a full-time engineering professor and an official in the university’s Office of Academic Integrity who bore witness to and adjudicated cases of student academic misconduct. Several real-life examples of creative methods that students use in cases of academic misconduct, along with proven solutions to neutralize them, are provided in this paper.
