ABSTRACT
To date, the way that academic misconduct is manifested in undergraduate mathematics coursework has been unexamined in the literature, with the consequence that policy and preventive education can fail to address it appropriately. This paper describes the particular features of the responses expected in mathematical tasks and provides concrete examples of what lapses of integrity look like in this context. The intent is to lay groundwork for discussion and a response to this issue from within our discipline.

Notes
1 Other words that draw on the Latin word ludere are ludicrous and delude and even the game title Ludo.
2 To be honest, not all the students wrote sentences, despite this being an assessment criteria. Some gave the bare equation and inequality for (a) and (b), and ‘2’ for (c).
