Cheat Sites
This page lists web sites which may be used by students to cheat in
assignments. The majority of these have been identified (by Bob
Clarke of Birmingham City University) as having recently been involved
in cheating activity. We have divided them into three classifications
— contract cheating sites (where users essentially pay for someone
else to code or write essays), bulletin boards (forums) where users can
publicly ask (simple) questions and receive answers from other users,
and other sites.
Note that this list is not definitive — these sites
tend to come and go, and when you read this you will probably find
that some of the links are already broken. This list is a snapshot
compiled on 11 March 2008, and on that date all the sites were
“live”.
We do not include sites which appear simply to be technology
news sites, news feeds, search engines, sites containong only tutorial
material. Sites which aggregate or front-end other sites
are noted as such.
Contract Cheating Sites
Sites where users can pay for a piece of work to be written for them,
and returned to them as a private transaction. The results of such transactions would normally not be available to search engines.
These have been divided into three types — those which are essentially computing (source code) sites, those which offer document writing services, and sites which offer a mixture of services.
