Question 1

Cheating, Copying, and Use of Tutor-Source Websites

Copying is one of the most commonly committed acts that violate academic integrity. Copying includes looking off of someone else’s paper (or using someone’s paper or answers from another course, classroom, or previous session). It also is committed when a purchased (or free) paper is found online that is specific to the assignments provided in the course.

Websites like Student of Fortune, ScribD, Ask.com, and so forth (many others) sometimes end up with DeVry assignments posted on them by students who have hired online tutor sources to write their work for them. Faculty members are aware of these sites and, just like students, can Google sources to find out if a paper has been bought from these sites. Avoid these sites like the plague—seriously. It just isn’t worth the extra hour or two it might buy you if you end up with a 0 for the paper or course or lose your degree over buying a paper (or getting it for free.) Typically, the #1 red flag to a professor that one of these sites has been used is when multiple students miss the same question in the exact same manner. Yes, the answers on those sites will typically cost money, but the answers are not guaranteed to be right. And further, the free papers on those sites almost always have wrong answers. Do not use these sites! Avoid them! If you use them, citing them is not enough to overcome the copying stigma and violation of the policy.

As one instructor of the course stated, "The majority of students who have been cited for Academic Integrity in my classes over the last 10 years have been because of their use of these websites – please remind students not to use them!"

What should you do if you find one of DeVry’s assignments on the Web? Please send the link to your professor immediately so that we can ask the DeVry legal team to have it removed. The content of our courses is copyrighted and protected. Never upload our content to any website.

What should you do if you run out of time and can’t get your work done? Contact your professor immediately and ask for an extension. Of course, he or she might say no. But that is the worst thing that will happen. So you get a 0 on that assignment. It is better than a 0 on the assignment and a mark on your record that you violated academic integrity, which is what could happen if you succumb to the temptation to use a tutor website or someone else’s paper.

• Academic integrity includes avoiding the use of other people’s old homework, exam answers, and websites that offer answers to our homework.

• Academic integrity violations can happen if students turn in someone else’s paper, or even one answer from a paper from another person, or a website like ScribD or Student of Fortune, even if it is cited.

• I should send the link to my professor of any website I find that has DeVry assignments listed on it with or without the answers.

• None of the above
