The Opposite of Cheating: Teaching for Integrity in the Age of AI

Book Club Facilitator: CFE Staff

The Opposite of Cheating book cover. A hand is holding a candle with the flame as a circuit grid.

Excerpt summarized from Amazon: The Opposite of Cheating offers a fresh take on academic integrity in a world of AI, online shortcuts, and shifting student pressures. Authors Tricia Bertram Gallant and David Rettinger argue that instead of chasing cheaters, educators should focus on building learning environments that make cheating unnecessary and less appealing.

Grounded in research and full of practical advice, the book helps faculty rethink assessments, classroom culture, and conversations around integrity. The goal? To create learning-centered classrooms where integrity is supported by strong relationships, thoughtful teaching, and clear purpose.

Whether you’re teaching online or in person, new to teaching or a seasoned instructor, this book offers tools and strategies to meet today’s challenges with clarity and care.
