Common Student Reasons & Excuses For Cheating/Plagiarizing
“Everyone does it” Concept of “Community”
Time constraints Work, family, other classes
Difficulty with content “It’s that professor’s fault, not mine”
Fear of loss of scholarships, parental support “I just can’t fail this class”
“I turned in the wrong paper” Unlikely, but possible, cases
“The professor said we could (didn’t say we couldn’t) work together”
