[Michael Bullis]

When caught, the punishment should be the same as for sighted students.
Certainly no less.

All,
Thanks for your wonderful responses.
It seems that technology has opened the dorr for much easier ways to cheat.
I assume blind students might be able to slip print papers behind there
tests with notes, but I wonder how much of an occurrence that is?
Does anyone have suggestions for punishment for students caught cheating?
Your responses are wonderful! Thanks!

Thanks,
Brandon McGinty
