Academic Misconduct
Overview of Academic Misconduct in relation to cyber crime: [1]Students frequently use the Internet to do homework assignments and research information for term papers. Some students actually purchase papers written by other authors to use as their own, or they copy and paste large amounts of text and patch them together to create a paper that is handed in to the teacher or professor. In the latter types of cases, students unfortunately may not realize that a lot of information posted on the Internet may actually belong to someone else, that it can only be used with advance permission, and that, at the very least, it needs to be properly cited, paraphrased, or quoted.
