Almonte Blanca, Jan Marinie Padua, Carla May Statements of the Problem: This study aimed to compare the effects of cheating on the moral sensibility of criminology and education students in Union College. Introduction: Moral Sensibility as define refers to our response towards what is right or wrong. Because man is believed—by nature is good but morally weak, he endures all the temptations through his life. Cheating is considered as one of those as one of those which lower the moral sensibility of students, it is also a serious problem that has negative educational, social, and psychological effects. Educationally, cheating is contrary to the spirit if higher education, especially in developing and promoting moral values and attitudes. Socially, cheating is unacceptable behavior to get something with no right. Cheating is also not only affects students who cheated but also other students as it forces them to live in an unfair system. The good thing is that by learning the consequences of this action, students learn to value fairness and honesty even more. Psychologically, cheating may cause an instability in a student’s values, potentially resulting in serious psychological problems, such as feelings of being guilty and with shame but...

...propensity to cheat in an academic environment is becoming increasingly enticing for students and problematic for their instructors. As technologically savvy students become more creative in committing acts of academic dishonesty, their instructors must become increasingly competent in their endeavors to deter cheating. With the convenience of computers and online data, unfortunately, an unwelcome new challenge emerges: preventing the misuse of these technological advances in academic environments. Cheating is widespread from high schoolers to college students. Not only do academic and professional teams recognize the widespread problem of cheating, but “students themselves are acknowledging the problem as well” (Campbell, p.35). According to the San Diego Union-Tribune (2001), nearly a quarter of students believe that everyone at his or her high school cheats. Before the Internet, research was a laborious task, requiring trips to the library, searches within the card catalog and extensive handwritten note taking. In contrast, today the same information is readily available through the Internet, thus creating a convenient environment in which to engage in academic dishonesty. In this emerging technological age, many students fall prey and use the extensive amount of technology for negative reasons. Szabo and Underwood (2004) engaged 291 students in a survey of 12 questions on the use and misuse of the Internet. The survey showed that more than half the students use information...

...they relate to students, scholarly research and practice. We will take a look at the viewpoints of two articles that tackle this issue. When I think about the word “ethics”, morals and doing the right thing come to mind. In life there is a constant struggle between making good and bad choices, especially if the choice you choose can make or break your career. In the first article, Aaron and Roche, (2013) highlight several levels of academic dishonesty being displayed and the repercussions that followed as a result. Together Aaron and Roche, try to identify where academic dishonesty can begin and how society plays a major role in its flourish. From an early age, we are taught to be competitive and to always strive to be the best at what we do, at least that’s what most parents expect from their children. There is an enormous amount of pressure placed on children in the elementary and high school grades to achieve high scores on standardized test. Unfortunately, this type of pressure if continued can lead to cheating on the collegiate level (Schellenbarger, 2013). Academic dishonesty or “cheating”, has become a common standard amongst specialized high schoolers and prep school students. In one scenario, involving a specialized school in New York, high school students devised an organized plan to cheat on a Regents exam. Of course the students involved were caught and reprimanded, however this incident opened the door to the pointing of fingers, how and why could something...

...------------------------------------------------- Colleen Wenke- “Too Much Pressure” 1. What reasons does Wenke suggest for the increase in cheating among students? Wenke suggests that the increase in cheating is moral decline. She that schools need to assume the responsibility of teaching kids about what are good morals, the difference of good and bad. She also express her most important reason is that students are too busy to get done the little things that need get done such as homework. These students are college bound students. Students that are trying to juggle too many activities. Restoring to compromising their integrity for a good grade. 2. What does Wenke see as a possible negative consequence of cheating among students today? She suggest that we are creating a society where students believe that it is okay to cheat. These students will be the people running our country. Corporate presidents and executives. The people running the governments. She continues by saying that its sure that once they get they get to the stop they won’t stop cheating. She is basically saying that cheating will continue into adulthood. It will become a life habit. 3. What solution does Wenke offer for the problem of student cheating? Wenke believes that we need to make students interested in learning. We need to make them desire knowledge, we need to get rid of the work. That way they want to earn the grade through their work and learned. Not just earn it by coping and...

In the blog Save Higher Education: Toss the Cheaters, Professor Doom takes an apposing stance in an attempt to make individuals “knowledgable” about the issue, cheating, in institutes of higher learning. He states that institutions allow cheating simply because they rely on funding, which requires impressive teacher evaluations and high graduation rates. Doom also expresses his belief that college courses offered on the internet will soon cause traditional institutes to be a thing of the past. Where is Doom’s factual evidence...

...especially while going to college. In order to be a successful student, personal responsibility is essential. It is accepting accountability for one's actions and is vital when pursuing an education. Personal responsibility and college success are dependent upon one another. Personal responsibility is accepting accountability for one’s actions. As personal accountability expert Linda Galindo defines it as, “When you’re personally accountable, you stop assigning blame, “should-ing” on people, and making excuses. Instead, you take the fall when your choices cause problems,” (Galindo, 2010). Personal responsibility is not about blaming others for what has gone wrong. For example, if a student received a bad grade on a project, the student can not blame the teacher for giving the bad grade. The teacher did not do the project, the student did; it was the student’s work. The student would need to accept personal responsibility and accountability for the work, and take it as feed back to work harder to get a better grade. Accepting failure is a part of accepting personal responsibility for what has taken place academically. Referring to data collected, 85 percent of an individual’s success is from steps the individual takes for themselves, rather than 15 percent being from other people (Galindo, 2010). Personal responsibility is important when pursuing an education. There is a strong relationship between personal responsibility and college success. Studying, doing...

...CHEATING Definition Cheating is defined as the intentional act of breaking the rules, or attempting to achieve personal gain through fraud or deceit.16 To cheat is to deprive of something valuable by the use ofdeceit or fraud, to influence or lead by deceit, trick, or artifice, to practice fraud or trickery, to violate rules dishonestly, or to be sexually unfaithful.11 A cheater (sometimes called acheat) gets something by dishonesty or deception; or by depriving one of his or her rights and usually connotes deliberate perversion of the truth; or by large-scale cheating bymisrepresentation or abuse of confidence.11 Cheating is an act of lying, deception, fraud, trickery, imposture, or imposition. Cheating characteristically is employed to create an unfair advantage, usually in one's own interest, and often at the expense of others. Cheating implies the breaking of rules. Cheating is a primordial economic act: getting more for less, often used when referring to marital infidelity.3 Cheating is when a person misleads, deceives, or acts dishonestly on purpose.17 Cheating fundamentally includes several elements of both lying and stealing, with specific motivations to gain something of value by illegitimate means. That is why lying and stealing are discussed before cheating. Cheating is lying and/or stealing with the intention for acquiring something for more than merely the "pleasure" of fooling or depriving others.

In my opinion all the three parties that is Students, Faculty members and the University are been served by detection system. Students- The detection system helps the student to find the true potential in itself. The main advantage of detection system for student is they are reminded of citation error in the assignment, and save them from doing and academic offence. Faculty members- Faculty member’s time can be saved to a considerable extent with the use of detection system. Moreover it also help the professors to determine whether the students understanding regarding the subject. The Universities- The detection system help maintain the prestige of the degree. And the final output (student) is up to the standards made by the Universities. 2.
