Who cheats the most.
I'm surprised 39% of social science and humanities students cheat. Is it really neccesary? I mean classes don't really count much at this level (well at least in psychology).It seems that cheating was defined as:The study of 5,300 graduate students in the United States and Canada found that 56 percent of graduate business students admitted to cheating in the past year, with many saying they cheated because they believed it was an accepted practice in business.
Following business students, 54 percent of graduate engineering students admitted to cheating, as did 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.
including copying the work of other students, plagiarizing and bringing prohibited notes into exams.

That is indeed really really sad. Even though it's the lowest #, I'm also surprised that so many social science and humanities students cheat, because yeah our classes don't matter at all! Morever, it can be hard not to get an A. Finally, when I take a class in graduate school it's in my field and the point is to LEARN, not to get by. In undergrad people cheat because maybe they just need the piece of paper/credential and will learn applicable skills on the job but in grad school? Come on! (Note, though, Michigan has a lot of stupid requirements that don't seem to be relevant so actually my analysis doesn't apply as much to our program...but grades don't matter, either. I've never heard of a student trying to cheat here.)
Yeah, it just seems like all of the numbers are ridiculously high. I truly doubt that 45% of Brad's peers were cheating on their exams in August. That number is just crazy. If the cheaters aren't here at Michigan I wonder where they are all hiding.
