PLEASE READI have repeatedly warned students about the consequences of cheating during exams, yet it continues to occur. This Summer Quarter alone, I have already filed 12 academic integrity violations, resulting in those students being removed from my course. In total now, 56 students have failed my online courses this year due to exam dishonesty. If you are considering cheating on today’s final because you think you “got away” with it on the midterm, understand this: you did not escape detection through cleverness.
