Academic Dishonesty
WARNING! - Degree mills are bogus universities selling fake diplomas. Paper mills are online databases selling research papers of dubious quality and copyright from student "cheat sites" that inevitably promote plagiarism.
Academic dishonesty or academic misconduct is any type of cheating that occurs in relation to a formal academic exercise. It has been documented in most every type of educational setting from elementary school to graduate school. Throughout history this type of dishonesty has been met with varying degrees of approbation. Today, those who are a part of an educated society tend to take a very negative view of academic dishonesty.
