WRITING AND WRITERS: PLAGIARISM:
To Stop Cheats, Colleges Learn Their Trickery
To Stop Cheats, Colleges Learn Their Trickery

ORLANDO, Fla. The frontier in the battle to defeat student cheating may
be here at the testing center of the University of Central Florida.
No gum is allowed during an exam: chewing could disguise a students
speaking into a hands-free cellphone to an accomplice outside.
The 228 computers that students use are recessed into desk tops so that
anyone trying to photograph the screen using, say, a pen with a hidden
camera, in order to help a friend who will take the test later is easy to
spot.
Scratch paper is allowed but it is stamped with the date and must be
turned in later.
When a proctor sees something suspicious, he records the students
real-time work at the computer and directs an overhead camera to zoom in,
and both sets of images are burned onto a CD for evidence.
Taylor Ellis, the associate dean who runs the testing center within the
business school at Central Florida, the nations third-largest campus by
enrollment, said that cheating had dropped significantly, to 14 suspected
incidents out of 64,000 exams administered during the spring semester.
I will never stop it completely, but Ill find out about it, Mr. Ellis
said.
As the eternal temptation of students to cheat has gone high-tech not
just on exams, but also by cutting and pasting from the Internet and
sharing of homework online like music files educators have responded with
their own efforts to crack down.
This summer, as incoming freshmen fill out forms to select roommates and
courses, some colleges Duke and Bowdoin among them are also requiring
them to complete online tutorials about plagiarism before they can enroll.
Anti-plagiarism services requiring students to submit papers to be vetted
for copying is a booming business. Fifty-five percent of colleges and
universities now use such a service, according to the Campus Computing
Survey.
The best-known service, Turnitin.com, is engaged in an endless
cat-and-mouse game with technologically savvy students who try to outsmart
it.
