Today is International Day Against Contract Cheating! We’re calling on #RioWaves to show their support for academic integrity and ethics in their studies-- and to take a stand against cheating by sharing a selfie with a statement that completes this sentence:
“I don’t contract cheat because ___________.”
Look for shares on our Facebook, Instagram and Twitter accounts later today.
Rio Salado is a proud member of the International Center for Academic Integrity (ICAI), which is leading the International Day Against Contract Cheating effort.
Excuses, Excuses
While there are no excuses and the consequences are great, the stress and pressures of school can make it tempting and sometimes irresistible for students.
What is Cheating?
What is Cheating?
Most of us are familiar with cheat sheets and copying homework, but there’s a new kind of cheating called Contract Cheating.
Examples of contract cheating include:
Contract Cheating is a “form of academic dishonesty where students get academic work completed on their behalf, which they then submit for academic credit [and/or advantage] as if they created it themselves,” according to www.contractcheating.com.
Examples of contract cheating include:
- Purchasing an assignment from an online site
- Sharing answers to an assignment on a file sharing site
- Posting or purchasing answers to an exam, assignment, or other assessed work
- Paying someone to write a test or exam
