Academic Problem Statement 2

1
“Essay mills”—companies that sell prewritten and/or custom works for students to purchase and turn in as their own work—have been an increasing problem for universities across the nation since the advent of the Internet. Some researchers believe that over 10% of papers turned in come from one of these services (or from similar plagiarism, like buying from friends). In order to combat this, stronger analytical tools are needed to compare the student’s past body of work to the existing work being turned in. Professors, overworked as they can be, need also turn a sharper eye toward the work they’re given. Students turning in work improperly labeled as their own are a serious problem to every school that wants to be taken seriously. We must take more steps in analyzing the work to mitigate the practice’s impact on education and society.
