Academic Values
At Coursework.Info we believe passionately in education, and in the important contribution to it that is made by the academic discipline of reviewing and referencing existing literature on a topic.
Like Google Scholar and academic journal publishers we provide access to academic papers or essays. Content published on our site is, however, suitable for GCSE and A Level students as well as University students.
However, rather than being peer-reviewed in the traditional fashion, documents published on Coursework.Info are reviewed by students and teachers on our site - a far more practical review mechanism for such a large body of documents written by GCSE, A Level and Uni students.
Our resources are used and supported by the academic community
We have commissioned educational guides on good essay writing technique and good academic practice which we provide to all members. The shadow Minister for Higher Education has written the foreword to our guide on good academic practice.
Here's a small selection of our many testimonials from teachers and students. They show the academic value that teachers get from our site:
"Coursework.Info has provided an invaluable site for both myself and my students... Particularly helpful has been the opportunity for my students to see a wide range of essay responses to examination and coursework tasks, which they have been able to evaluate and assess against the relevant assessment objectives and criteria."
Gill Burbridge. Teacher of English and Communication Studies. Central Sussex College, Haywards Heath.
"Blind students have multiple problems accessing both the material presented to them in class and textbooks. The deaf students have great difficulty accessing the verbal material presented in class... . With your service I can download the relevant information and they can refer and re-refer to the information. It allows them their independence which is very important."
Carolyn Hunt, Disabilities Tutor, Keele University.
"I have a group of GCSE English students who absolutely rave over your site and constantly tell me how useful they have found it to be. Trust me it has inspired them. I also lecture a group who are all planning to go to university in Autumn 2007 and they also say how great your site is."
Tess Wiltshire, English Lecturer. Brooksby Melton College
"One of the ways I think your service is exceptionally valuable is in providing students with exemplar material for analysis. i.e. How do they know a good essay when they see one? There is a huge amount to learn from reading an essay and breaking it down into its component parts and then grading it. ... This gives them such valuable insight into the marking process and the crafting of essays."
Carmen Harvey-Browne. Head of English. More House School.
All published content is submitted to Turnitin Plagiarism Prevention Database
Like most publishers, we submit our entire library to the Turnitin Plagiarism Prevention Database. We do this so that tutors can see if students are using our materials without correct acknowledgement or attempting to pass-off cut and paste sections as their own work. Turnitin is used by 95% of UK universities and all UK exam boards.
Will Murray, Director of the UK Plagiarism Advisory Service, run by the government's Joint Information Systems Committee, which is in charge of information technology in higher education in the UK said about Coursework.Info submitting its database to Turnitin,
"This means that any student attempting to submit a Coursework.Info essay as his or her own work will be identified by TurnitinUK".
(Times Higher Education Supplement and Education Guardian)
Professor Hamnett, the Chairman of the 2006 Universities UK Conference on Plagiarism, and Principal and Vice-Chancellor of Strathclyde University, also said:
"We are delighted"... Prof Hamnett said he hoped other coursework providers would follow Coursework.info's lead.

We support academic integrity
Alongside the raft of other activities that we carry out to promote academic integrity, we were invited to speak at the 2006 2nd International Plagiarism Conference. We participated in the conference panel session in the summer of 2006 to talk to the academic community about the steps online academic resources can take to minimise plagiarism, and how those actions can enable academics to identify genuine academic resources. More details are on the JISC PAS website.
