What are the consequences of cheating?

Why do students cheat?

(ref. IS 22, Pr 9)

While ISs identified Prof delivery and lesson pace as the number one reason (28.9%) they don’t

understand in class, the Profs cite student language skills and vocabulary as the main reason. Another

discrepancy the data reveals is that ISs rank lack of effort/focus highly (21.3%) as to why they don’t

understand, while no Profs at all cited this as a reason.

identified this challenge, while the ISs response was more spread out, including language (43.9%) DSs

attitude (17.2%) (0 DSs identified this as a challenge), cultural differences (9.9%) and no significant

challenges (14.6%).
