On each exam there are a few people who I suspect of cheating. Often this occurs when hour exams are handed in for regrading. If I have iron clad proof it is simply a matter for the Dean of the College and the usual disciplinary procedures. In the absence of absolute proof I make a notation on my grade sheet and I may xerox the next exams of those suspected students to use as comparison proof of foul play. Once a student changed an answer almost before my eyes. The student backed down, but later had the audacity to ask me for a recommendation to medical school! Usually, the number of points at issue are not enough to change a letter grade, but the risk of getting caught with disastrous consequences really should make cheating, or fudging, not worth it. In none of my courses in college did I ever witness cheating. By the way, I am a member of the University Disciplinary Committee (UDC).
