The important aspect of assessing the course goals is to ensure that cheating andplagiarism are minimized in a course. These issues are observed in all teaching modalities (in-person, online, and hybrid), however, it is known that online or hybrid instruction improves thechances of cheating and/or plagiarism since the students are not physically present in class whiletaking the test or assessment. But the majority of the institutions have implemented learningmanagement systems that are equipped with software that handles plagiarism such as Copyleaksfor Canvas, SafeAssign for Blackboard, and Turnitin for D2L.

Faculty felt that a studyskills program for all pre-tech students should be mandatory if student persistence wasdetermined to be a goal of the college.
