I am surprised to see that the following website said that more college students cheated more on writing assignments than on an online site. I think it would be easier to cheat with an online source since you can just copy and paste the sentences you want to use without your teacher seeing it. Some students could also be using their phones in class to help them cheat on a test. Technology makes it easy for students to cheat but it is also plays a role in helping to prevent plagiarism. Salisbury University has done a good job in avoiding plagiarism by having students upload their essays on Safe Assign. This enables teachers to see if a student copied something word for word from a web site.

I agree that technology has made it easier to cheat. But like many others said, technology also makes it easier to get caught.
