> Finally, as educators, we also hope that the accused student can learn difficult lessons about ethical behavior in the classroom rather than the workplace.

Suppose that technique X can actually deter students from cheating 100% of the time.

So we apply technique X to intro class Z that has 300 students.

Now we have an intro class of 300 non-cheating students who sit quietly and listen to an instructor for an hour a week.

Then those non-cheating students sign in for a more reasonably sized class section of 40 to sit quietly and listen to a graduate student for an hour.

Finally, these non-cheating students take tests and do assignments written in such a way that the amount of grading time does not put the graduate students over the weekly allotted work time for their TA-ship in their particular program.

Ballpark-- by what percentage would one say the quality of the learning environment has improved by employing technique X?
