Positive Relationships
Several studies have shown that students are less likely to cheat if they feel part of a community where faculty members care about them and their coursework (McCabe and Treveno “What we know” 1996; Lathrop and Foss 2000; McKenzie 1998). And we need to remember that “we risk becoming the enemies rather than the mentors of our students; we are replacing the student-teach relationship with the criminal-police relationship” (Howard 2001) if we are too legalistic in our approach to cheating.
