Widespread help from parents and family members has generally always cast doubt on the value of examinations in which home-completed assignments contribute to the grade awarded. The extent of that contribution is significant, with between 20 and 60 percent of grades coming from such coursework. Most students believe that coursework is a fairer method of assessment when compared with ‘all or nothing’ exams, however they also admit that it is ‘all too easy to cheat’. A review of the extent of cheating found overwhelming evidence of widespread abuse by students, teachers and parents. Incredibly, 1 in 10 parents admitted to doing assignments for their children. Teachers admitted to giving students ‘too much help’. But greatest concern arises because of the internet. A whole host of sites now exist, offering for a small fee (or even for free) model essays and examples of coursework awarded top grades. Most of these sites carry requests that the user does not submit the material as their own but there is no attempt to ensure that this request is adhered to, and there is much evidence of a plagiarism free-for-all of internet-obtained material. Many educationalists conclude that the internet has made the policing of coursework impossible.
