"There was a time when academic plagiarism involved laborious copying from books or newspapers, and an exam room cheat note was limited to whatever you could write on your hand or a tiny piece of paper."
People all around you cheat with ipods and mp3 players. It is very unethical, but there is not much anyone can do, except to ban electronics in classrooms, which would be difficult.
"60 per cent of U.S. high school students said that they had cheated in the previous year."
If this many people are cheating, a lot of work will be needed to prevent this.
Another type of cheating is with coping material off of the internet- plagerism
"There are dozens of sites with names such as Cheathouse.com and The Essay Depot that offer papers on hundreds of subjects, notionally as "research aids."
Do you think we can stop this? and if we can, how?
