“During one summer semester, I caught a student cheating and gave him a zero. He then dropped the class. He enrolled in my class again, but I did not recognize him. At the end of the semester, I had a visitor to the class who was grading papers for me. He watched this same guy cheat on the final throughout the whole class period. I ended up flunking him twice.”
Carl Broderick, math professor

“I had five students return a take-home test with identical work. I got them all together and told them that they would get a zero. One by one, I heard absurd stories on how they had got their answer, until one of them cracked and told the truth.”
Eyal Goldmann, physics professor

“A guy turned in a test during class and I asked, ‘where is so and so?’, the name that was written on the test, and he said ‘I am so and so,’ and I said ‘no, you are not’ and he just walked away. The guy was trying to take the exam for a friend.”
Susan Taylor, math professor

“I had a student in lab, who, everytime I looked around the room to see how people were doing, was writing and not doing the experiment. So, when I walked over there, he was using a previously graded lab from another year and copying the data. When I asked him what he was doing he said, ‘I’m not cheating!'”
Amy Grant, chemistry professor
