Some of the links I found just from google:

"We welcome students to campus with required classes that nudge them toward academic dishonesty from the beginning."
This quote from the article really shows a side of cheating that I never really thought about and could be an important idea in my paper.

This 30 minute talk of the nation clip from NPR seems like it will be a good resource for this project. They will answer the question why, if not only the surface.
This issues that are going to be important with this topic are really why students aim to cheat on things, and whether or not it is more rampant in college or early schooling.
Hi Paul --
ReplyDeleteOK, as we discussed, "Cheating in College" is a safe topic and there are plenty of interesting sources. Two good ones that connect cheating to privatization are David Callahan's "The Cheating Culture" and Dave Tomar's "The Shadow Scholar." Though neither is quite an "academic source," they still make very interesting reading on this subject for how they speak to the attitudes that breed cheating behavior. I have the former book on my shelf and can loan it to you.
The most important academic work on college cheating has been done by Donald McCabe at Rutgers.
Check out some previous student blogs on cheating:
