<p>All exams should be proctored. Honor codes are a license to cheat. Proctoring exams is a faculty responsibility. Take home exams and open-book exams are generally not valid measures of student learning. College exams are not the proper venue for moral education.</p>
<p>^^^^Agree^^^^</p>
<p>Stanford does I think.</p>
<p>Agnes Scott has a student-led honors court that upholds the honors code. They have “trials” to decide guilt & punishment of students suspected of violating the honor code (don’t cheat, plagiarize, the basics).</p>
<p>BYU has an honor code that, not only covers academics, but lifestyle and dress. You can get kicked out of BYU for drinking coffee. </p>
<p>I think that BYU is really not comparable to other schools. It is a religious code, a religious school, with rules based around a religion. not honor/academics. Gentiles are not left in the dark about this in any way, It Is a school for the faithful, not a school with a vague religious history. I doubt more than a very very few gentiles even attend. I think the people most likely to fall foul are the recruited athletes who aren’t LDS. And maybe that kid allegedly running a meth lab from his apt. </p>
<p>@Alfonsia, your use of the term “gentile” is non-standard anywhere but among the Mormon faithful. For the vast majority of people, it just means “non-Jewish.”. I’d use the term non-Mormon if I were you. </p>
<p>Nah, gentile what they call people like me LOL, Although I think infidel is more my cup of tea. </p>
<p>West Point (the United States Military Academy) strictly enforces their honor code: “A cadet will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do.”</p>
<p>Connecticut College has a very unique and interesting one that involved not having RAs and scheduling your own finals and not having teachers administer them, usually.
Also Wheaton has more of a Christian honor code to promise that you will basically devote yourself to God and the practices that is within the Christian beliefs but I don’t know if that’s what you mean by an honor code of what your looking for.</p>
I may have missed its prior mention in this fairly long thread, but The New York Times published an article on the topic in its Education Life section: The Fading Honor Code; April 11, 2014.
In the article, some colleges come off poorly, others quite well.
