cheating is part of life
Nearly 40 percent of college students polled in a nationwide survey have plagiarized papers by lifting text from the Internet.
Rutgers-Newark management professor Donald McCabe headed the study of 18,000 students.
Less than 5 percent said they turned in assignments entirely downloaded from a Web site or purchased from a term paper mill.
Business majors admitted to the most cheating. They were followed by education majors, and journalism and communication majors. McCabe told The Star-Ledger of Newark that he was amazed that students use the excuse that cheating is part of life.
