Abstract
Webinar presentation by the co-chairs of the Alberta Council on Academic Integrity working group on cheating cheating. In this eye-opening webinar Eaton & Boisvert talk about contract cheating in Alberta, including about essay mills, homework completion services, unethical tutoring services, and thesis consultation services that all cross the line into academic misconduct. Participants learned about the size and scope of this predatory industry and how it preys on our students, including engaging in blackmail and extortion.
By the end of this session engaged participants will be able to: (1) Describe what contract cheating is; (2) analyze how contract cheating impacts students; and (3) discover practical tips and strategies to promote academic integrity.
