I was pleased to work with Prakhar Nagpal on an extension to previous work I&#8217;ve been involved with <strong>looking at homework help sites and how these can be misused by students<\/strong>. This was completed as part of the Imperial College London Undergraduate Research Opportunity Programmme.<\/p>\n<p>Prakhar and I presented together about this at the International Center for Academic Integrity Conference 2022.<\/p>\n<p>You can see the slides I used below, along with a summary of Prakhar&#8217;s slides.

A lot of evidence suggests this is true, including discussions from students themselves, but it is very hard to verify if any given question is legitimate or not.<\/p>\n<p>Prakhar experimented with some promising computer science techniques to do this. There is more that I hope we can share in other formats. But, like much research, we did not get to a definitive answer, although we did notice some patterns that would likely represent cheating. I do hope that Prakhar or other researchers are able to continue to look further into this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was pleased to work with Prakhar Nagpal on an extension to previous work I&#8217;ve been involved with looking at homework help sites and how these can be misused by students.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[325],"tags":[474,497,519,267,520,7],"class_list":["post-1106","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-academic-integrity","tag-covid-19","tag-file-sharing","tag-homework-help","tag-partners","tag-prakhar-nagpal","tag-research"],"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":false,"thumbnail":false,"medium":false,"medium_large":false,"large":false,"1536x1536":false,"2048x2048":false},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"Thomas Lancaster","author_link":"https:\/\/thomaslancaster.co.uk\/blog\/author\/thomas-lancaster\/"},"uagb_comment_info":1,"uagb_excerpt":"I was pleased to work with Prakhar Nagpal on an extension to previous work I've been involved with looking at homework help sites and how these can be misused by students.","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thomaslancaster.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1106","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thomaslancaster.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thomaslancaster.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thomaslancaster.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thomaslancaster.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1106"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/thomaslancaster.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1106\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1253,"href":"https:\/\/thomaslancaster.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1106\/revisions\/1253"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thomaslancaster.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1106"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thomaslancaster.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1106"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thomaslancaster.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1106"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
