The University of Central Florida has become aggressive in stopping cheating. No gum, no cell phones, no pens, scratch paper is stamped and must be turned in at the end of the test. The computers are recessed so the proctor can easily see each student.

Colleges have noted that not only do students plagiarize papers, but they also copy homework. None of that is new, but now colleges are fighting back by using technology to nab the offenders.
