Submission + - Which grad-students cheat the most?

SpectralDesign.Net writes: The results of a research paper released Wednesday reveal who (in North America) is admitting to the most cheating. The study focused on 5,300 graduate students in Canada and the USA and concluded that the biggest cheaters were business students. The author of the study, McCabe said, "The typical comment is that what's important is getting the job done. How you get it done is less important. You'll have business students saying all I'm doing is emulating the behavior I'll need when I get out in the real world."

In addition to the results of the business students the results also showed that 54 percent of graduate engineering students admitted to cheating, 50 percent of physical science students, 49 percent of medical and health-care students, 45 percent of law students, 43 percent of liberal arts students, and 39 percent of social science and humanities students.
