14. My one personal experience in cheating.

I'd been out the night of an exam, along with another student. The next week, the professor gave us both the exam and sent us to the next door classroom to take the test. Meanwhile, he was going over the test with the students who'd taken it the week before. We could clearly hear him telling the answers. The other student and I looked at each other, didn't say a word, and just continued to take the exam. I know I got a 95% or better, and I expect he did somewhat the same.

I also frequently read stuff about students purchasing research papers. And somehow professors seem unable to stop that. Really? Just require they turn in their notes and first draft. If they can't produce those things, they get an F. Pure and simple. Heck, I recall being required to do that -- turn in notes and first draft -- in 1965, long before purchasing research papers was a thing.
