The way that one perceives, thinks about and ultimately reacts in a situation is the basis of a cognitive analysis. The in class "texter" may not perceive text messaging in class as inappropriate. They feel that if they want to text in class, it is their right. The cognitive mind may perceive the professor as not diligent enough to even catch them and when they do get caught, they fail to process that their actions were unacceptable. These thought patterns lead to this inappropriate behavior.
Explain to the student how the honor code system works at Elon University and allow him or her an opportunity to tell you that they were cheating. It is best to treat the student in an unthreatening, professional manner. Professionally, it is your duty to remain in control and calm. Though it may be insulting that a student attempted to cheat in your class, treating them poorly will not change the fact that they have cheated.

The last part of the paper consists of strategies that could be used in the classroom to prevent undesirable behavior from occurring. In Mrs. Grabowski’s tenth grade algebra for beginners’ mathematics course, a male student, Timmy is continually accused of stealing from unsigned notes placed on my desk. Timmy has a record of misdeeds but nothing has ever been proven because of lack of evidence and uncooperation from fellow students. These unproven charges have left a black cloud hanging over Timmy; however, there are a few fellow classmates who believe in his innocence. I have spoken to Timmy privately on many occasions about his lack of doing class assignments, homework, and his general deportment while in class.
Copying another student’s homework is also considered cheating. This is another example of how students don’t bother studying when they have the easy way of copying somebody else’s work and finishing as quickly as possible. This shows that the student is simply lazy as they choose not to study and take the shortcut to success. The most common reason for students
The teacher did not commit any criminal offense discarding the paper. This is because the teacher neither abused the child nor was he/she unfair. The teacher is, however, liable to unprofessional, which is a breach in ethical expectation of educators (Bull, 1990). Tearing the paper is not only destroys evidence but can also demotivate the student. The student feels harassed and embarrassed in front of his or her classmates, an issue that can lead to poor self-esteem as well as discourage the student.
students can be very addicted to plagerizing since it is very easy to find any type of information. many students do this continuously understanding that plagerisim is against the rules but fail to see any real harm in the theft of ideas or phrases.students obviously are not learning anything from stealing someone else's work. writing takes alot of critical thinking and involving yourself in the situation to make a easy well structed essay. in many cases, students dont take their time realizing how writing can be very fun and creative. plagerism has begun to affect professors at high levels diverting them from the work of developing students writing and critical thinking abilities.
One of the classes I took during my undergraduate studies was Contemporary Moral Issues. I had actually taken this class twice because I was unsatisfied with the grade I received the first time. Nonetheless, I had noticed a significant difference in how each teacher executed her class. In the first class, the professor took control of everything, which is common for a teacher, but she dictated every move the class made. There was no variety in the lessons, and even when the students were clearly lost, she continued anyway.
Another important value that operates independently of the "bottom line" is fairness . When students cheat, they gain a short-term advantage over other students, and that's not fair. It's not fair to have a cheat-sheet when others are relying on memory; it's not fair to submit the writing of a published author when other students are submitting their own writing; and it's not fair to collaborate with someone else on a homework assignment when other students are following the professor's instructions and working on their own. Let's also be clear about our mission here at UC Davis, which is -- first and foremost -- education. Dishonest academic conduct undermines the learning process in multiple ways: it stunts the
According to Paulo Freire, "Education is suffering from narration sickness." Students are given information, and they are expected to memorize the information, this is known as the banking concept. If the students only memorize the information, are they even learning what the information truly means or are they just memorizing the information long enough to take a test? The "Banking" Concept of Education is not only ineffective but also contributes to students suffering with the inability to think for themselves and creatively. In his essay, The "Banking" Concept of Education, Paulo Freire basically states that education is simply just a teacher who lectures all class period, filling the student's memory with information, and he or she merely accepts that the information is correct.
Candace Burgess ENC0020 Mr. Schaberg 17 November 2010 No Privacy Allowed Here I sit, at work, doing the normal: reading emails, typing correspondence letters, and creating new case files. While I sit here, I can’t help but wonder, “Is someone monitoring everything that I do on my computer at work. Is every word I type in the correspondence being read,” More than likely, yes? In Mark McFadden’s essay, “Nothing but Net,” he contends why he has an issue searching through a fellow employee’s computer for violations. He believes looking through employees and children’s computers is a complete transgression of their privacy, and it’s not right.
