Description
Cheating has been a concern of the dean of the College of Business at Rocky University for several years. Some faculty members in the college believe that cheating is more widespread at Rocky than at other universities, while other faculty members think that cheating is not a major problem in the college. To resolve some of these issues, the dean commissioned a study to assess the current ethical behavior of business students at Rocky. As part of this study, an anonymous exit survey was administered to a sample of 90 business students from this year’s graduating class. Responses to the following questions were used to obtain data regarding three types of cheating.
During your time at Rocky, did you ever present work copied off the Internet as your own?
During your time at Rocky, did you ever copy answers off another student’s exam?
Yes No
During your time at Rocky, did you ever collaborate with other students on projects that were supposed to be completed individually?
Yes No
Any student who answered Yes to one or more of these questions was considered to have been involved in some type of cheating. The complete data set is in the file named Rocky.
