Abstract

"In the world before the Internet, academic dishonesty, aka cheating, on written assignments was primarily confined to plagiarism, maybe getting a paper from a fellow student and using parts of it as the writer’s own work. Jump ahead to today and the landscape of academic dishonesty has changed markedly. Internet usage among adults aged 18-49 increased nearly 100% between 2000 and 2015 (Perrin & Duggan, 2015). According to Bernardi et al. (2004) two-thirds of students who took a survey admitted to cheating. The purpose of this presentation is to discuss the ever-evolving techniques used to engage in academic dishonesty and faculty’s responsibilities for detecting them and conveying the harm and consequences that result when they occur. Academic integrity is advanced through a holistic, university-wide commitment to consistent enforcement and promotion of original writing. Strategies for achieving these goals will be presented during the session."
