In the article “Methods
Of Cheating And Deterrents To Classroom Cheating: An International Study” by Michael
B. Witek, et al., the authors claims that cheating has increased since 1942 and
that some methods can be used to deter cheating. The authors support this claim
by providing statistical information and graphs which prove that cheating has
increased since 1942 and also by reporting data of an experiment where a group
of people were asked how certain deterrents of cheating and punishments of
cheating would help the issue of cheating. The purpose of this article is to
inform people how to attempt to prevent cheating in order to reduce the amount
of cheating. The intended audience for this article is a group of college
educated people, because difficult terminology is used and statistical data and
a long length are utilized by the paper, along with the organization of a lab
report.
