Abstract | Plagiarism is a significant problem within Universities and common across all disciplines including engineering. This paper focuses on a specific type of plagiarism in the form of student copying of technical analysis amongst undergraduate engineering students. Our research question is 'Do rates of plagiarism vary between oncampus and offcampus (online distance) student cohorts?' Research in this area is limited but suggests that academic dishonesty is less common in online courses compared to courses delivered oncampus. |
