ADDITIONAL WAYS TO CHEAT/PLAGIARIZE
Translation Software
Students are using translation software as one method to fool detection software
(Stebelman,
1998).
Babel Fish Translation (Alta Vista)
FreeTranslation.com
Books: Print and Electronic
Lest we not forget, the beleaguered printed book is still available and may be
used for plagiarizing, especially for historical topics. E-books, as they become more accessible, will provide
one more temptation for those inclined toward scholastic dishonesty.
Hand-Held Devices for Cheating
Portable devices, such as Palm Pilots, calculators, pagers, and cell phones, are
being used by high school students to cheat on tests and classroom work (Frey, 2001).
Usenet Groups/Discussion Groups
One can search the 20-year Usenet Archive by using GOOGLE Groups, providing still another potential
source for academic dishonesty.
