Professor presents research on cheating in the classroom

Makayla Tendall

Do you feel like you’re almost encouraged to cheat in your classes, or even in your major? The learning environment some students are in may be encouraging them to cheat. 

Bob Reason will be presenting his findings on the topic at 12:10 p.m. Feb. 16 in 2030 Morrill Hall. 

Reason, an education professor at Iowa State, researches how a student’s behaviors are affected by classroom climates. Reason has studied whether professors are unintentionally telling students in their classes that cheating is okay.

Reason will also share his research on what drives students to cheat and the best practices for preventing academic dishonesty.
