Cheating rife among university students

This story from the South China Morning Post (www.scmp.com) really struck my eye. Listed below is the result of a survey asking university students whether or not they cheat. From my experience, they cheat every opportunity that they get. Yet, in their culture they consider it helping each other. When I was in Spanish class at SJU, if i was not sure of an answer to a verbally asked question I would consult my neighbor and ask for the proper vocabulary word. This, I felt was assistance and the prof never looked down on me for at least making the effort.

My students do the same, and I in turn do not look down on them for needing help with a word or two. The heart of this survey, however, speaks to exams and formally graded work. Cheating should be unacceptable in this graded realm. To combat this, last year my fellow teacher Ryan gave two separate written final exams to his American History classes. Rows of students alternated getting test A and test B. The tests contained the same questions, but the order was reversed (i.e. 'A' had questions ordered 1-50 while 'B' was ordered 50-1). The result was astounding.

Students would berely read the questions, so answers were as follows:
Q: "Who was the famous black civil rights leader who was shot and killed in 1967?
A: Huckelbarry Fin.

Q: "Written by Mark Twain, this famous American novel is about the adventures of a young man growing up on the Mississippi River?"
A: Martain Luthar King. (Either 'Tom Sawyer' OR 'Huck Finn' would have been acceptable.)

Just thought this was interesting... read the below article for more...

Cheating rife among University students
By Chan Siu-sin
SCMP.com 4.9.2005

Four out of five university students surveyed on the mainland have cheated in examinations, a survey has revealed. The cheating included sneaking in strips of papers to exams, giving answers to others, taking exams on behalf of someone else and "hi-tech" cheating. According to the monthly China Youth Studies, 82 per cent admitted cheating, and 8 per cent said they were just "helping classmates".

The study also found that more boys cheated than girls and that girls and junior students tended to be more nervous than senior students about cheating. Zhang Xiaoming , from Huazhong University of Science and Technology, said the "score-oriented" university system was to blame. ###
