Academic dishonesty

"Academic dishonesty is a critical problem in American education. Unfortunately, most educators know little about its causes, steps they can take to prevent and detect it, and how to handle instances of cheating. This book, written by two nationally renowned scholars in the area of ethics in higher education, is intended to help teachers and administrators understand and handle these problems." "The book's goal is to provide readers with a concise handbook covering the full spectrum of issues related to academic dishonesty. To do so, the authors present research and theory on academic dishonesty and strategies for preventing, confronting, and managing the problem."--Jacket.
