Your cheatin' heart...
Hank Williams had a great song there, didn't he? This blog isn't about that type of cheating. Instead, I'm interested in why students cheat, how teachers deal with it, and what the long-term effects of academic dishonesty (AD) are.
This blog is dedicated to exposing new methods of cheating, understanding why students feel the need to cheat, and methods teachers can use to confront and work with students they find have been practing these dreadful behaviors. I'll also talk about classic and current research into AD, as currently, I'm doing a great deal of archival research into this topic.
And, if you as a teacher or student would like to comment, feel free to do so.

I am always amazed at the way college students cheat themselves out of learning by plagerizing. I used to grade papers for my ex-social work professor, and found that I re-read some of the same few papers every semester submitted by different students. Some student's writings were original, but I was always amazed at how many were more willing to cheat than to research and write. I felt that I was not a good writer when I first began college, so I took more english courses to help me write more clearly and succently. It's sad really.... just sad. GoatGirl
