Episode 28- Is this cheating?

Cheating isn’t a new phenomenon. By the time you’ve reached university, it’s likely you’ve been told what is considered cheating and what isn’t. Writing the answers to your exam on your arm-that’s cheating. Looking over classmate’s shoulder to see their answers- cheating. And of course- paying someone to take an exam or write a paper for you- that’s obviously cheating. Right? On this episode, We speak with Amanda White, Senior Lecturer in accounting at the UTS Business School, about her solution- the Academic Integrity Board Game. Further Reading: Kane Murdoch- UNSW academic integrity Phillip Dawson writes on legislating out contract cheating on the Deakin University blog. The structure of Amanda’s board game, was framed on Donald Cressey’s 1979 Fraud Triangle Theory.
