Measures to prevent high-tech cheating in the classroom will be the subject of a Mississippi State campus presentation Monday (Dec. 1).
Thomas Bourgeois, MSU's associate dean of students, will discuss the increasing number of instances of cheating facilitated by technological devices such as calculators, cell phones, personal digital assistants, or wireless computers.
He also will offer suggestions for preventive classroom management during his presentation, "High-Tech Cheating in the Classroom: Methods, Solutions and Discussion." Following the presentation, a round-table discussion will allow faculty to share their experiences and solutions.
The Brown Bag Lecture Series event takes place noon-1 p.m. in Room 1405 of Mitchell Memorial Library, and is sponsored by the library and the University Instructional Improvement Committee.
