Reasons Given for CheatingReasons Given for Cheating
“Everybody's cheating in the class and they get grades so it is unfair to me that I don’t cheat, especially that many instructors know but don’t exert enough effort to prevent it. The whole society cheats in everything”.
“Helping each other out. Since we both studied why not remind my friend or be reminded if someone has forgotten?”
“Helping someone that didn't have time to study and knowing that he's a good student or a friend in need for help.. like this he won't fail”
![Page 31: Academic Integrity: The Challenge and the Opportunity](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062500/56815a68550346895dc7b685/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Reasons Given for CheatingReasons Given for Cheating“I do help other people, either friends or not if they asked for help, I believe it is not me that is cheating but them”.
“I don't cheat myself, but can help my friends sometimes. its a collectivistic culture that focuses on people around u... what do u expect?”
“One way or another, i am aiding such individuals get through...It isn't solely the issue of academic difficulty but the society does not enable an individual to sustain through such exams on their on or even employ simple academic skills as (time management, adequately employing the instructed ideas, etc.)”
