“What Motivates College Students to Cheat”
with Jeffrey Walls
Academic cheating has been described as both epidemic and endemic. It
is considered a significant problem because it is occurring on all college
campuses with high frequency and because it undermines the foundation
of the college as a learning institution. A review of the literature
on cheating behaviors revealed percentages of self-reported cheating
ranging from 24% to 98%. The present study explored the relationship
between academic dishonesty and student backgrounds, along with student
attitudes. In 1998, a replication of the research previously done by
Melody Graham, Jennifer Monday, Kimberly O'Brien, and Stacey Steffen,
(1994) was conducted by Jeff Walls. Faculty and the students were included
in the research study. Three main areas explored in the present study
concerned the relationship of student background variables, perceptual
differences between faculty and students, and faculty background variables
to attitudes of cheating. More lenient attitudes toward cheating were
found with the variables of race, religiosity, coming from urban areas,
living in dorms or college apartments, majoring in business, and playing
sports. A Synthesis Model of Cheating Decision Making was developed as
an implication of the research conducted and has been revisited for an
update. This Model can assist faculty in understanding the cheating decision
process of students. Also, students can use the Model to facilitate a
self evaluation of their decisions.

“Not Thinking the World Apart: Transforming the Power Dynamic & Living
the Questions in the Classroom”
with Michael Glaser
This presentation/discussion will look at some of the in-process techniques
that one teacher is developing and employing as he struggles with issues
of power, passivity and authenticity in the required general education
courses he teaches. Focus will be given to such questions as: How can
we encourage rather than coerce students to think, question, and take
risks? How can we re-awaken the excitement and curiosity of the liberal
arts as an enjoyable, engaged, educational experience?

“Promoting Effective Teaching Through Assessment”
with Larry Braskamp
Faculty need to be able to demonstrate that they are responsible in their
teaching, but they also need to continue to develop themselves as teachers
to meet the changing expectations of their profession, society and students.
Student ratings have always been the most common type of evidence of
teaching quality, but it is often overused and misused. In this session
Braskamp discusses the changing expectations of faculty and how student
ratings can be better utilized to meet both the individual needs of the
professor and the needs of the institution to have trustworthy evidence
to make decisions about the faculty.
