Cheating on Campus

Gary Thomason reports that Stanford is investigating increased cheating. Stanford Provost John Erchemendy says that as many as 20 percent of students in a large introductory course may have cheated. "“With the ease of technology and widespread sharing that is now part of a collaborative culture,” he wrote, “students need to recognize and be reminded that it is dishonest to appropriate the work of others” (Erchemendy, as cited by Thomason, 2015).
