【class work】Unit 2 academic honesty questions

1.In your opinion or experience, why do some students chose to cheat?
What are some of the different reasons students give?
Do you know people who cheated in high school or college?

Answer:
The most important reason flash into my mind is “no time to study”!
Generally, lots of students have no money. But everything needs money! For example, remedial courses, the main pay, and help their parents with the money. The students who need money have to take a part-time job, or “several” part-time jobs.
The students spend their time to take part-time job, but no time to study. What can they do in exam? Generally, cheat I think.

Sorry, I have no idea for the people who created in high school or college….

2.In the US if you were caught plagiarizing assignments you would immediately be given a failing grade.You could also be immediately expelled from the university for “academic dishonesty”. Since the reason you were expelled would be written on your transcripts, every other university you applied to would know you once got caught cheating. What types of punishment are generally given for cheating on exams or class work in Taiwan? Do you think these punishments are a sufficient deterrent to cheating? What do you think the punishment should be?

Answer:
As a matter of fact, I do not know what types of punishment are generally given for cheating on exams or class work in Taiwan. But I do not those punishments are a sufficient deterrent to cheating. According to many reports shows that people would always give it a try! Try to get high grads, even cheating.

3.You will have to think creatively for your answer here: Even with the threat of severe punishment, the readings above indicate that cheating is still a problem. One reason is because students naturally assume they will get away with it and won’t get caught. Therefore, severe consequences probably won’t be enough, by themselves, to stop students from cheating (if you don’t think you will get caught, it’s easy to ignore the possible consequences). What can be done? What real solutions should be tried? Are teachers and students in perpetual race to see who can get trickier? What other solutions can be tried to stop cheating? Be specific with your suggestions.

Answer:
Use camera to record every thing, subject a person to a search, and arrange at least four people to invigilator. These are the most normal way, but it is quite useful!
