Most college students cheat! Contemporary technology makes college cheating a great deal easier. Students use web-based cheat sites to plagiarize with ease. They use powerful calculators and technical trickery to secretly store equations they will need on tests. They ask to be excused to go to the lavatory then use their cell phone to get outside help. They get answers from a test file or someone who took the test earlier in the day, then store them in easily retrievable form in their Personal Digital Assistants. They also beam answers to one another using their machine's infrared transmission capabilities. Students even use numeric pagers to have answers phoned in while taking his test. In most cases the high tech cheater's confident expectation is that the instructor will be at least one step behind them. The young often take to high tech quicker than adults.
Despite the abundance of research evidence confirming that cheating is rife, many instructors are still reluctant to acknowledge the full extent of the problem. Most educators want to foster comfort and trust in their classroom; and they want to eliminate obstacles that interfere with the joy of learning. They worry that taking precautions against cheating, might confound these goals. Some reluctantly resolve this tension by trusting their students and hoping that they will repay that trust with honesty. Too often that doesn't work.
There are many online cheating companies that generate huge profits by creating original essays based on specific instructions provided by cheating students. In the midst of this great recession, business is booming. At busy times, during midterms and finals, a typical cheating company's staff of roughly 50 writers, shadow scholars, is not large enough to satisfy the demands of students who will pay for its work and claim it as their own.
You would be amazed by the incompetence of students' writing. They misspell the word "desperate" every way you can imagine. And these students truly are desperate. They cannot write a memo, yet they are in graduate school. They really need help. They need help learning and, separately, they need help passing their courses. But they aren't getting it.
College degrees from all over the world are now forged under the noses of Mexikleptocrats. Santo Domingo Plaza, the historic center of the Mexico City's printing industry, is now its main market for counterfeit documents. For $600, customers from all over the world buy fake college diplomas, including Harvard, and professional licenses in many fields, such as medicine, law, or engineering! The colonial plaza sits across the street from Mexico's Public Education Secretariat, which the pseudodegree salespeople cynically refer to as the competition!
