  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!)
It may be more time consuming or difficult to do, but you could try giving different assignments or forms of the homework. For example, make 5 different worksheets with different questions on them in different orders and pass them out randomly. Kind of like what is done with tests to try and prevent cheating within the classroom. This may deter them or at least make it more difficult to cheat.
