'E-cheating' rife in UAE Plagiarism is a "serious issue" among students taking educational courses in the UAE, academics at top universities in the country have said. Dr Zeenath Khan, a lecturer at the University of Wollongong in Dubai (UOWD), who has researched the subject of 'e-cheating' in the UAE in depth, explained the reasons pushing academic dishonesty.The American University of Sharjah (AUS) has lowered the number of plagiarism cases by introducing sanctions against students who violate the honour code. For some students at (the) AUS, there can be a significant transition between high school and university and this often means that students may have difficulty in keeping up with the volume and level of work and may be tempted to take shortcuts."
