Student Comments
• Cheating is greater (and justifiable) when – faculty member
tends to ignore obvious incidents
– Honest students then at a disadvantage http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/

Student Comments
• Cheating is greater (and justifiable) when – Faculty recycle
exams and written assignments
– Class has little relation of value to intended major http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/

Why does cheating occur?• “…cheaters have
external attributional biases that enable them to justify their student cheating; non-cheaters have internal attributional bias.
• “cheaters excuse their cheating”
• (Gallant and Drinan 2006)http://thebsreport.files.wordpress.com/2009/06/cheating-everyones-doing-it-01-af.jpg
Why does cheating occur?
• Students see education as a stepping stone to get what they want– Do not value
education for education-sake
• (Gallant and Drinan 2006) http://thebsreport.files.wordpress.com/2009/06/cheating-everyones-doing-it-01-af.jpg
