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!) Let the students know that you know there is a problem with their homework assignments. Tell the students that each time you see this, they will get a zero on the assignment for copying. The first time you see another example of them cheating, give them the zero to show that you are serious about the situation.
