Contract cheating – where students pay external companies to ghostwrite essays 代写论文 or complete work – is a global problem that poses huge reputational risks for universities. While better detection means spotting work outsourced to third parties is improving, experts warn most online cheating remains unexposed as universities fail to catch the vast majority of cases. In a statement, Sydney University said it was "very disturbed" by the higher rate of contract cheating cases and exam breaches during the pandemic, and "their corrosive effect on learning." "Students are increasingly vulnerable to temptations from contract cheating companies looking to exploit them," a university spokesperson said. The institution will launch an educational campaign with posters at campuses and online channels to alert students to the risks of cheating. Guy Curtis, an academic integrity expert from University of Western Australia, said higher case numbers likely reflect the effort and resources put into detecting cases. A total of 5038 alleged academic integrity breaches were reported at Sydney University last year, up by 33 per cent from 2019, with plagiarism, collusion, prohibited materials during an exam and potential contract cheating comprising the bulk of incidents. The shift to online learning that created a fertile ground for cheating, experts say. "Online teaching wasn't always done well, and when students are dissatisfied with the teaching environment they are more likely to cheat," Curtis said. "Cheating providers took COVID as a marketing opportunity and being online encouraged that." An internal Sydney University report said: "Contract cheating continues to pose a serious threat to the integrity of the higher education sector." The university "observed a notable increase in reports from students, staff and other stakeholders alerting the office to illegitimate activities and advertising of contract cheating services, as well as breaches of academic integrity in assessments." Academic integrity researcher Cath Ellis from UNSW said research shows about six to 10 per cent of students have engaged in some form of outsourcing their work. Ellis emphasised it was "a good thing" detection was rising, especially as some universities are tracing trends over years and are putting resources into addressing the problem. In October, the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency announced it would lead a global network to stamp out commercial cheating operations that flourished 甚嚣尘上, 蓬勃发展 during online learning. Plagiarism is generally caught through text-matching software 查重软件 such as Turnitin, and Sydney University says they are dealing with the issue through staff training, assessment re-design, technological and other detection strategies and improved investigation methods.
