Measures to instill academic integrity (as submitted by school)
On-campus exams proctored by faculty, online quizzes pull questions from a question pool and are timed, some instructors require that written assignments be processed through Turnitin.com, smaller cohorts of students (45-60) allow instructors to get to know their students, which allows them to examine student work from a better perspective
