Editing Coursework (section)

==Plagiarism and other problems==
[[Plagiarism]] and copying can be problematic in graded coursework. Easily accessible [[websites]] have given students opportunities to copy ideas and even complete essays, and remain undetected despite measures to detect this. While coursework may give learners the chance to improve their grades, it also provides an opportunity to "cheat the system". Also, there is often controversy regarding the type and amount of help students can receive while completing coursework.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://studyclerk.com/complete-coursework|title=Complete Coursework|website=StudyClerk}}</ref> In most learning institutions, plagiarism or unreasonable coursework help may lead to coursework disqualification, student expulsion, or both.{{citation needed|date=October 2022}}

=== UK GCSE coursework ===
Coursework was removed from UK [[GCSE]] courses and replaced by "Controlled Assessment", much of which must be completed under exam conditions, without teacher assistance and with access to resources tightly controlled in order to reduce the possibility of cheating.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ocr.org.uk/qualifications/by-type/gcse-related/controlled-assessment/ |title=Controlled assessment|publisher=OCR|access-date=3 October 2015}}</ref> However, this too has been largely removed and replaced by mainly exam-based assessment as part of a general GCSE reform.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/get-the-facts-gcse-and-a-level-reform/get-the-facts-gcse-reform |title=Get the facts: GCSE reform|publisher=GOV.UK|access-date=3 October 2015}}</ref>
