Cheating and the College Student Students face many dilemmas in their lives and cheating is one of them. Cheating does not start at the college level for many they start in high school. Cheating, as defined by Merriam Webster dictionary, is to break a rule or law usually to gain an advantage at something. (Online dictionary, 2014) The reason for this definition is to summarize what cheating means and the place it has in college student’s lives. Cheating is said to harm the academic integrity of the college as well as the students that cheat.
Many students perceive cheating as acceptable. Some students cite academic pressure, working, family, sports, and other daily activities as reasons they cheat. Some students have even said that boredom in some assignments will cause them to cheat. Another finding in this study is that cheating has grown with the use of technology. Students also believe if they cheat they will get ahead. Cheating hurts the students that do not cheat as well studies show. Studies also show that students that do not cheat may have some diffuclties in findin employment because the employers prefer to hire
