PAstudent1985 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Doing some research and a paper about cheating in PA school. Anything from getting copies to tests, to peering over someone's shoulder. Does anyone have experience with someone in your class caught cheating and their consequences? Or did anyone have an academic misconduct on their records when they applied. How did they handle that situation? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator rev ronin Posted February 18, 2013 Administrator Share Posted February 18, 2013 Wow. I assume PA schools are no nonsense. Cheating in the real world will get people killed. I should hope every program would be like EMED's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAstudent1985 Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share Posted February 18, 2013 Say it was discovered by faculty that she copied some test questions to review for PANCE... and shared with a person in class but never actually used anything to cheat on an exam.

MedicinePower Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 While not for PA school, last semester two women in one of the A&P sections that my prof was teaching caught two women cheating on the final exam. He gave us a practice exam which included 1/3 of the questions on the actual exam, but without answers (we had to answer them ourselves and hope we got the right answers). Two women went to the bathroom for a very long time so he walked out and stood in front of the women's room listening very carefully. He heard them say things, "No, on the next page. I think it's on the bottom of the page. Yeah, that's the one." They were calling on their cell phones to their friends who had the exam. When they walked out he was standing there with a very mad expression on his face. They both failed the exam and were expelled from school.

Moderator LT_Oneal_PAC Posted February 18, 2013 Moderator Share Posted February 18, 2013 Sometimes if you wait long enough, the ulterior motive for a thread pops up. Not necessarily. Last week I got an email from faculty at another PA program conducting a research survey on cheating on the behalf of a student. I assume this is related? Could be wrong.

rpackelly Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Seen some ingenious things..........I will preface with "not at current institution" and I have experience with a number of programs, don’t even try to guess. Most devilish manifestation was stealing tests as they were being copied through linked computer network to networked copier. Faculty at that time not particularly computer savvy, new technology then, but student ring-leader very computer savvy. IT could not prove case b/c one linked computer had wide-spread use. Eventually faculty copied “fake” exam, gave “real” exam. Prior “A" students.......big grade surprises. But, students were persistent. After network problem solved by faculty, students broke into faculty office for test draft. Again, no witnesses. Campus PD eventually set up sting with camera...........bingo.
