Academic Dishonesty : Internet
My prof today told me about an interesting article, which I would like to share with you all. I have attached the PDF file, it's an article in one of the ACM journal written by a professor from Columbia University.
The professor gave the students a project to code for bulk-loading a B+ tree. He came to know that the project statement had been posted in the forum of an online service http://www.rentacoder.com/ , which provides online bidding for coders.
Read on the article to know how the professor got the culprit. The university of columbia has redefined the academic honesty policy http://www.cs.columbia.edu/education/honesty . The last sentence made by the author is pretty good. "Perhaps students searching for Internet-based subcontractors will find this column among the hits (it includes most of the right keywords) and appreciate the risk they are taking."
PS: The link for the article
