Aftermath of Cheating
I received this video from Caveon Test Security Newsletter. Caveon is a company that consults and provides services related to maintaining the integrity of tests. The video shows the lecture given to students by their instructor about how he found out about the cheating, and what would happen because of the cheating.
It's a nice peak into a major cheating scandal, and how one instructor worked with his colleagues to address the issue and give students a chance to correct the problem.
