Cheating in online courses can be a pain for students and faculty. “The headaches that come from cheating are much worse than time spent in learning the material properly to begin with,” said Ellen Gundlach, a professor in the College of Science. Jeffery Stefancic, an associate dean in the Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities, said online courses have the same problem as written courses: Students cheat. “Plagiarism tends to be the most common incident occurring, with students either copying information directly from Internet sources without providing citations or students using papers that had been previously submitted by other students,” Stefancic said.
