Coping from the internet

"Coping from the Internet is not cheating." It gives the possibility of sharing information over the Internet or knowing the answers from fellow students is still give some sort of learning and motivation to the student. I think at least student is interacting and bouncing ideas. We don't know which pressure forcing a student to do so. As a mathematics teacher, I can give a big assignment into chunk and provide proper guideline to assess that assignment. Also, I prefer to monitor student progress on regular basis. Moreover, student can do journal entry about the progress of a given assignment. I can setup math forum posting and ask to form and represent own question(similar to the given assignment) to the class.


Examples of cheating and plagiarism over the Internet are


  • copy and paste contents

  • different format used on same page

  • Not answering the assignment properly

  • having website information on the top or bottom of page

  • Not thorough understanding of submitted assignment

This can be preventing


  • with collaboration

  • splitting assignment into parts

  • assigning different due dates

  • monitoring student work regularly...
