Global Essay Mills Survey in Czechia: Insights into the Cheater's Mind
Original language description
University student cheating is a widespread problem. A project called Global Essay Mills Survey (GEMS) was launched to explore student self-reported use of essay mills and associated sites or companies. This paper deals with contract cheating in the Czech Republic and shows results from data collected through the GEMS project. More than 500 respondents answered questions related to contract cheating - students' motivation, circumstances, experience and opinions. We found that 19.7% of the students admitted to various forms of contract cheating. In this article, we look closely at this group of respondents and compare their answers with the non-cheating group. We conclude that cheaters are more aware of somebody else who had their work ghost-written, find more reasons to excuse their behavior, and suggest more lenient penalties.
