#5. Scholarly Sources

I choose the “Academic Search Premier” as my search database. I typed in “academic dishonesty” as my keywords, and choose the “full text” option. I also limited the publication time to the recent 10 years. So here are some articles that I found interesting:

Aluede, Oyaziwo, Eunice O. Omoregie, and Gloria I. Osa- Edoh. "Academic Dishonesty as a Contemporary Problem in Higher Education: How Academic Advisers can Help." Reading Improvement 43.2 (2006): 97-106.

Arhin, Afua O. "A Pilot Study of Nursing Student's Perceptions of Academic Dishonesty: A Generation Y Perspective." ABNF Journal 20.1 (2009): 17-21.

Levy, Elliott S., and Carter C. Rakovski. "ACADEMIC DISHONESTY: A Zero Tolerance Professor and Student Registration Choices." Research in Higher Education 47.6 (2006): 735-54.

Schmelkin, Liora Pedhazur, et al. "A Multidimensional Scaling of College Students' Perceptions of Academic Dishonesty." Journal of Higher Education 79.5 (2008): 587-607.

Sileo, Jane M., and Thomas W. Sileo. "Academic Dishonesty and Online Classes: A Rural Education Perspective." Rural Special Education Quarterly 27.1 (2008): 55-60.

Wowra, Scott A. "INTRODUCTION TO THE SPECIAL ISSUE: Academic Dishonesty." Ethics & Behavior 17.3 (2007): 211-4.

  1. OK -- good start -- but a few issues:
    1) Don McCabe is still not on here. Why not? As far as I know, he is _the_ authority on this topic. To write a paper on academic dishonesty without citing him would be like making a list of famous golfers and leaving off Tiger Woods.

    2) These sources cover such a wide range of issues -- including the special problems of rural students taking online classes (are you going to write about that?), nursing students (though the gen Y angle might be interesting), and zero tolerance policies. You should start to use the sources to narrow your focus. Do you want to write on the Gen Y sensibility and academic dishonesty? That seems like a good topic. Then I would definitely recommend that anthropology book I mentioned previously.

    3) Your use of MLA is good. The latest MLA also asks that you indicate "Print" and "Web" etc.
