Technology for Measuring the Attitude of Students towards Cheating and Plagiarism

Title: Investigating Students’ Attitude towards Cheating and Plagiarism

Speaker: Dr. Manar Hosny, Assistant Professor, Computer Science Department, CCIS, KSU

 

Synopsis: During their studies, many students commit some form of academic dishonesty, such as cheating and plagiarism, often to obtain higher grades than they are capable of. The current widespread use of the Internet, mobile and wireless devices has made it easier for students to illegally access information, and at the same time it has become difficult for academic institutions to control and discover such instances. Hence, it is essential that students become aware of the seriousness of these offences, and be encouraged to avoid them. In this study we investigate the attitude towards cheating and plagiarism among our college students. We shed light on the most prevailing practices, the underlying reasons, the popular sources of illegal information, and the conception of students towards the ethicalness of such practices.
