I found this artifact to be unsurprising because so many people are trying to cheat and looking for the easy way out. There are so many ways for students to take the easy way out and not actually learn. At the college level this confuses me because you are actually paying to go to school and what are you actually getting if you cheat? You are getting nothing more than a fake education and a piece of paper that you didn't earn. What happens when you get on the job and don't know what to do? Then you are pretty much screwed and have no way to do what you needed to do.
I am glad that schools are cracking down on the amount of cheating that goes on. It frustrates me that some people actually don't cheat and do their work while others just cheat off of the internet. Plagiarism is a tricky issue on the other hand though. Many times students can plagiarize without even knowing they are, which creates a tricky situation because most schools expel people who plagiarize. A lot of the problem can be solved by good citing and making sure you know your sources.
