ABSTRACT

Let’s begin with some fundamentals: students cheat. They cheat in your class. Cheating and plagiarism are voluminous and multifaceted topics well beyond the scope of this book. In fact, there are book-length treatments of each (e.g. Carroll, 2013; Cizek, 1999; Lang, 2013; McCabe, Butterfield, & Trevino, 2012; Velliaris, 2016). We wish to address just a few aspects about cheating: what is cheating, the conceptual frameworks you might adopt when thinking about cheating, prevention strategies, and responses to cheating.
