Discuss with your students the importance of honesty and academic integrity. Use positive reinforcement to fortify these principles.
Announce to your students that talking is not allowed during the test.
Assign students their seat during the test. Do not allow students to sit near their study partners or friends.
Monitor your students closely during the examination. The less time that you pay attention to your students, the greater the chance that a student will successfully cheat.
Confront suspicious behavior immediately but discreetly. If your student is visibly copying from another student's test, confiscate the test and his materials. Write down the student's name for disciplinary referral.
