I found the segment on how faculty enable cheating to very interesting and a bit surprising. Some information was already known, but tips on how to change those behaviors was helpful. The idea that students cheat
because “they don’t know what we want” , is something I have been told a lot recently by students. While not in reference to cheating, but generally the statements have been heard most recently. Seems to be a new pattern.
