Barbara Francis

A free term paper site, run by a 16 year old, receives 13,000 hits a day.

A librarian who went undercover to investigate plagiarism ordered a paper from a term paper mill. The paper could not be delivered on time because the site was being flooded with 800 orders a day

John Barrie, co-founder of Plagiarism.org, says the company’s detection service is experiencing a 10-15 percent plagiarism rate on the papers it checks

Despite warning his class in advance that he would be checking their papers for signs of plagiarism, Berkeley professor D. Presti found that 45 out of 300 papers submitted had at least some sections copied from other sources

A former tutor at the University of Minnesota admitted to having written “400 academic papers for members of the men’s basketball team

(Harris, v-vi)

Reasons WHY?

Ignorance Careless note taking Stress and Competition Lack of buy-in to the educational enterprise Tutoring out of control Cheating in self-defense Perceived cheating by authority figures Lack of perceived punishment Students are natural economizers Too many choices, out off low priority Poor time management and planning skills Inadequate writing ability Do not believe that instructors actually read research papers Thrill of rule breaking Cryptomnesia

Cybercheating

Dozens of internet sites offer papers for free, some in exchange for another paper

Some sites charge a fee Paper mills charge on average $8-9.00 per page and

accept all major credit cards. Paper mills cover a wide range of topics and have

multiple delivery methods. Some offer “custom work”, the student can custom

order a term paper
