. Themajority of college professors report doing little or nothing to reduce the frequency ofcheating in their classes, usually because of a lack of awareness of its occurrence. Andwhen cheating is observed, faculty overwhelmingly choose to deal with the situation ontheir own, without resorting to the institution’s policy. Given this scenario, it is theauthor’s goal to develop useful approaches that help faculty prevent cheating before itoccurs. In addition, the author feels that students do not inherently want to cheat. Onecan therefore assume that there is a set of practical techniques that can be used by facultyto reduce the pressure on students to cheat. This paper focuses on several of thesetechniques which were developed as a result of research

It should also be noted that one major Management School, the Ecole Nationale d'Ad-ministration (ENA) has produced many high-level decision-makers over the past four decades.Formed on 9th October 1945 by General de Gaulle, with Michel Debré as its first Director, it re-cruits at the strikingly young age of 31.

This reflects the facts provided by the National ScienceFoundation showing 35% of the undergraduates in science and math majors are women,while only 10% are in engineering. It’s no wonder that many girls and young womenperceive these fields as “for men”.
