Survey Finds Cheating Among Students At All GPA Levels
An anonymous reader writes “Over a third of undergraduate students
admitted to some form of cheating at one of America’s top research

find more cheating among the top-performing group — and at the minimum at

perception that teaching assistants either ignored or didn’t care about
cheating.”
