As Kristin Shrader-Frechette [13] has argued at length, there is apersistent tendency for technical appeals to experts and expertise to both underestimate risk.There is an equally persistent among technical experts to continue engineering technologies thatthey themselves assess as posing significant risks.

The easy shortcuts include having another student write for them, copying or buying a paper from the web, plagiarizing from a book or paper. Projects: The great variety in types of projects precludes a list of common cheats. However the use of resources they should not use may sum it up. This might include talking to or working with other students, accessing information on forbidden sources (like asking for expert help on a website).
