How to Prevent Cheating
(1) Teachers should take steps to prevent students from cheating on exams. (2) To begin
with, teachers should stop reusing old tests. (3) Even a test that has been used once is soon
known on the student grapevine. (4) Students will check with their friends to find out, for
example, what was on Dr. Thompson's biology final last term. (5) They may even manage to
turn up a copy of the test itself, "accidentally" not turned in by a former student of Dr.
Thompson's. (6) Teachers should also take some common sense precautions at test time. (7)
They should make students separate themselves--by at least one seat-during an exam, and
they should watch the class closely. (8) The best place for the teacher to sit is in the rear of
the room, so that a student is never sure if the teacher is looking at him or her. (9) Last
of all, teachers must make it clear to students that there will be stiff penalties for cheating.

Her firm supports the presentation because it hopes to recruit more excellent employees like Bridget. The university is 196 miles from her office. In order to get to the dinner by 5:00 p.m., she will need to leave work at 1:00 p.m. She can drive her personal car and be reimbursed $0.50 per mile.

Debitus, a calendar year company, publishes textbooks that are used in colleges and universities across the country. These textbooks are purchased by students through their campus bookstores. Debitus normally makes its biggest sales at the beginning of the fall semester. In the past, Debitus has always recorded sales returns in the spring semester when the campus bookstores return any unsold textbooks. This has been satisfactory because the returns have been immaterial in amount. In 2018, as a promotional strategy to stimulate sales, Debitus began offering bookstores a reduced price if they ordered more textbooks. There is no penalty for returns of these textbooks if the bookstores cannot sell them to customers. This strategy worked; sales increased by 10% during 2018.

A more senior trainee has been on sick leave, and you are due to go on study leave. You have been told by your manager that, before you go on leave, you must complete some complicated reconciliation work. The deadline suggested appears unrealistic, given the complexity of the work. You feel that you are not sufficiently experienced to complete the work alone. You would need additional supervision to complete it to the required standard, and your manager appears unable to offer the necessary support. If you try to complete the work within the proposed timeframe but fail to meet the expected quality, you could face repercussions on your return from study leave.
