For Your Information


Self-reported cheating at a wide range of U.S. Universities (McCabe, 1995):
      Cheating on an Exam
45%
      Repetitive Test Cheating
17%
      Plagiarism
58%
      Unauthorized Collaboration
49%
      Cheating in High School
61%
In a separate survey involving 12,000 students, perceptions of faculty action and faculty apathy were found to be a a primary factor in determining whether the students chose to cheat. (McCabe & Trevino, 1993)

Please report all cases in which you suspect academic dishonesty, even if you believe they are relatively small infractions. In many such cases, the student has a history of such small infractions, and we can't know about this unless faculty report all instances of dishonesty.
