Description
CASE PRESENTATION: The online quiz and exam cheating situation in the CLS Program began to unfold when faculty noticed discrepancies between student high quiz scores and the students' inability to actually discuss subject content in class. These discrepancies were occurring in several CLS disciplines however faculty had not yet met to collectively discuss their individual observations. About the same time and just prior to a major on-line exam in one subject, a student stepped forward and reported to the Program Director that they had firsthand knowledge of "collaborative cheating" by fellow students; this individual had been invited to participate several times. The student struggled for some time with the decision to report their fellow students. While not wanting to compromise personal friendships they realized the potential impact on the program and profession as well as their personal integrity and code of ethics. They felt they had worked very hard for their B grade and did not feel it was fair for these others to get A's for no effort. The likely impact on patient safety is what finally brought them forward. Shortly after that another student came forward with similar information.
