Why Cheat?
Competition and pressures for good grades
Instructional situations that are perceived as unfair orexcessively demanding
Faculty who are perceived as uncaring or indifferent to
their own teaching or to their students' learning Lax attitudes on the part of faculty toward academic
dishonesty
Peer pressure to support a friend
A diminishing sense of academic integrity and ethicalvalues among students.
