But it is my job and that of the college where I teach to recognize that our students need a lot of help to develop good academic habits.<\/p>\n<p>Unless colleges acknowledge these facts, I believe they have little chance to curb the pervasiveness of cheating.<\/p>\n<p>Faculty can start by weaving discussions of intellectual integrity throughout their courses and enlisting students to think about who they want to be \u2013 and whether they want to live their lives cutting corners and gaming the system.
