Papers are being archived at the same time as testing sites install cell-phone detectors to keep students from text-messaging answers or finding them online. One result of the high-tech cheating wars: paranoia. McCabe says fewer students are filling out his anonymous surveys. "Students started accusing me of getting their IP address," he says...
