How Students Cheat


"Computer technology has made cheating so easy that it serves as a temptation for students who might otherwise toil honestly." Posnick-Goodwin, Sherry. "Point, Click, Cheat" California Educator, October 1999, Volume 4, Issue 2, Page 14.
There are many ways that students can plagiarize via online sources. Here are a few:

Borrowing from a database (for a Zoology class)


Downloading a free paper (for an English class)


Acquiring a paper (for an Education class)
Students can gain access to free paper databases by submitting a paper they have written or creating a link to the paper mill site from a web page of their own.


Paying for a paper
