text: Cheating on an online course is very common. Since the online course is attended at home it is very tempting for a student to cheat. There are many resources that covers specific classes online. Most students cheat on these online courses to finish the class early or just get a free class credit without doing all the work. Some students say they only look up answers to the questions they don't know. If these students were at school they could ask the teacher for extra help on the subject. Though most online courses have a final test that covers everything the student learned they can still cheat on that but, they wouldn't need to cheat if they learned it at school since they know the material.
