Possible Interview Questions and answers from your officers!
Tell me a time when you witnessed dishonesty and what did you do?
There are a lot of different things that you could use to answer this question. Of course when in an interview it is important to pull from personal experiences if possible becasue you will be more relatable and show more passion.
A possible way to answer this question is talking about academic dishonesty. This is something that most everyone has seen and also something CSU has very clear policies on.
You could answer this question with how you reacted to someone cheating. How you felt that someone was cheating. Or you could even talk about a teachers response and if you felt it was appropriate.
If your professors at CSU catch someone cheating, they have the right to decided the punishment. This punishment can be as severe as expulsion from the University.
It cannot be easy for an educator to expel a student from the University or have them fail a class, yet so many proffesors have done just that.
Do you agree with them? Would you do the same thing? How many chances should you get?
Consider the article below, to gain insight into a teachers perspective on cheating.
