COLLEGE CHEATING – A SIX YEAR FOLLOW-UP Vance Poteat Departments of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering Merrimack College vance.poteat@merrimack.edu Abstract According to various researchers, between 25% up to and in excess of 90% of all college students engage in some form of cheating. Traditionally, cheating includes inappropriate collaborations on a homework assignment, a cheat sheet hidden up a student’s sleeve or more recently on the back of a water bottle label, as well as those wondering eyes during an exam

Our role in the overall project is to improve student learning and retention by identifyingdifficult topics and producing a series of video demonstrations to address these topics. Anotherset of videos will be used to show how expert programmers solve typical programmingproblems. These solutions will include program design, algorithm design, debugging, etc. Thestudents will view these videos as

We demonstrate how phiMap can be used to assess a selection of exercises in order toquickly and visually determine whether any educational descriptors are underrepresented, andadd exercises that may mitigate such underrepresentation. We conclude by discussing howphiMap provides decision support for selecting physics exercises tailored to educationaltaxonomies in a rapid and collaborative manner.IntroductionProficiency in problem solving has long been a central objective for introductory science,technology, engineering, and math (STEM) courses. Beyond developing a knowledge base, suchSTEM courses should place focus on building the necessary skills for quantitative and qualitativeproblem solving. By

Education: New Perspectives on a Student-centered Metric of SuccessAbstract. Retention in undergraduate science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM)programs is a national problem. Although many studies have attempted to identify characteristicsof students at high risk of attrition and other interventions to aid these populations, few haveadequately questioned the metric of success itself: retention. To be specific, “retention” tracks onlythe percentage of students who begin their undergraduate career in a chosen major and successfullymatriculate, which may be too coarse of a measure for several reasons: (1) it counts as successesstudents who remain in an initially chosen STEM major, but flounder, (2) it counts as failuresstudents

undesiredside effects of undergraduate EE/EET curricula.IntroductionA critical examination of undergraduate Electrical Engineering and ElectricalEngineering Technology programs exposes the following:• The discipline is artificially partitioned into topics (e.g., Circuit Analysis, Power and Machinery, Computer Architecture, Digital Signal Processing, etc.) which appear to the student to be somewhat unrelated. This is a result of the traditional packaging of study into a set of courses. The effect is that the students often do not make connections between courses and therefore fail to see a single cohesive discipline.• Students often master and retain problem-solving procedures at the expense of their understanding of the underlying
