several course-related, co-op, and extracurricular projects withundergraduates, including security [2, 3] and digital/computer hardware projects. In each project,the pedagogical outcomes are similar: 1. The student should learn a new technical concept or skill outside of their typical courses. 2. The student should practice independent research techniques, including task management, reading/writing academic papers, and self-guiding exploratory tasks. 3. The student should gain insight into graduate-level research and/or industry laboratories. 4. The student should advance their own (self-defined) career and educational goals.The past experiences of undergraduate research gave the faculty member a default structure toguide the student

Some students have a blurred idea of what is academic dishonesty, especially onhomework7. In many places, homework is not a substantial part of the grade so it is acceptable toreceive online help on homework.8 Some instructors avoid traditional homework and use projects toassess student learning, yet it appears the online tutors are available to not only solve problems butwrite papers and laboratory reports.
