How does the policy reconcile trust and “reasonable precaution?
Again, we are not an honor code school. We don’t have a tradition of unproctored exams. Proctoring is an accepted (and welcome) practice and “reasonable precaution” simply enunciates other common sense (but not always abided) practices. Students look to faculty to create a level and fair playing field; when faculty do not make common sense attempts to reduce the opportunities for cheating, students lose trust in those faculty. Students also must be conscientious and not engage practices that might unintentionally violate integrity standards or tempt less conscientious students to violate those standards.
