Another period of midterm assessments is in sight. Unfortunately, this is also a period to be extra vigilant for fraud and plagiarism. This means paying attention to the conditions under which exams are administered, and to the detection of fraud or plagiarism while marking assessments.

More information about administering exams, invigilation, fraud, etc. can be found on the ECOLe website under Administering assessments and Fraud and plagiarism. Remember that as an examiner, you are required to report (suspected) fraud to the Board of Examiners. Please always do so, even in the case of minor offenses. What to do in cases of (suspected) fraud is described under Reporting fraud and plagiarism.
