How prevalent is cheating?
A. Unfortunately, cheating is quite common. National surveys monitoring the frequency of cheating on college campuses report that 50 to 75% of all college students cheat sometime during their college experience. Although the problem surfaces on all college campuses, it appears to be most prevalent at larger universities and in larger classrooms where there is the appearance of anonymity. The frequency of cheating appears to be lowest at institutions with well-functioning honor codes or in classes where instructors make a special effort to communicate high expectations regarding academic integrity.
