  Case: Copying
For the most part, I am extremely impressed with my students this year. They are generally well-behaved and bright. Unfortunately, it is obvious that several of them are pooling their answers on the homework assignments, or worse, copying off the same paper. Any advice?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
If you physically see copying I would immediately take the homework from the students and state that they will receive no credit for their homework. I would speak to these students privately and explain that this is not acceptable and that homework serves a purpose of practicing what we have learned. I would also have a whole class discussion on honesty.

Comments: This is a good solution, if the students don't realize how serious cheating is before they reach college they will get a huge wake-up call in college when a professor doesn't put up with any of it.

Comments: I agree, I think you could also tell the students if they see that people are copying then everyone with the exact same answers will receive a zero.
