Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Assigning reasonable workloads can reduce the temptation for students to cheat as they will feel less overwhelmed and more capable of completing the work on their own. This approach focuses on addressing the root cause of cheating, rather than just controlling the behavior through external factors such as time pressure or monitoring. Additionally, it promotes a positive and supportive learning environment rather than one that breeds mistrust. Encouraging students to pursue performance goals and keeping their grades high (D) can be helpful, but it may also add more pressure and increase the likelihood of cheating.
