I recommendthis book to both faculty and administrators who must deal withthis issue in their work."

Thisbook is a must-have for anyone wishing to understand the causes ofcheating and find ways to prevent its occurrence." -Bryan K. Saville, James Madison University "Cheating in School provides a compelling call to action. Rather than simply sensationalizing individual cases of cheating,it provides a broad and balanced perspective and outlinesreasonable short and long-term actions we can all take." -Lauren Scharff, Ph.D, Director of the Centerfor the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL), U. S. AirForce Academy "This book combines the work of experienced authors who haveunique knowledge of different facets of academic integrity and itsattendant problems. Working together, they have created a volumethat brings together the various stakeholders concerned withacademic cheating. They articulate the problem and define it in allits myriad forms, from the student who copies another's examto the parent who 'helps' more than she should. The book prompts the reader to wonder why cheating is not centralto the 21st-century education agenda, and how our values becomecircumvented or distorted in relation to this issue." -Ken Keith, University of San Diego "Cheating in school: What we know and what we can do, isperhaps the most comprehensive and accessible text on the topic ofacademic integrity that I have read. What makes this bookspecial is the clear intention of the authors to look beyond theindividual to the broader institutional and societal milieu withinwhich student cheating occurs, but always with clearly articulatedoptimism. Stephen Davis, Patrick Drinan and Tricia Bertram Gallantshould be congratulated on this carefully and elegantly constructedpresentation of the field." -Tracey Bretag, Editor, International Journal forEducational Integrity, University of South AustraliaMore details

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
