Think you know the best methods for reducing cheating? Rather than changing classroom practices and techniques, the best solutions may require changes in the course design, according to a new Harvard University Press book by Professor James M. Lang, “Cheating Lessons: Learning From Academic Dishonesty.” “If you force all students to jump through the same six hoops, you are sending the message that what matters are the hoops, not the learning.” says Lang in a recent Inside Higher Ed article. Intrinsic motivation is the most important factor in facilitating learning and reducing academic dishonesty. Building courses around problems, questions, and challenges rather than "covering content" are ways to engage students so they cheat less - and learn more.
