It can be due to increase of using collaborations in the classes. Several studies haveidentified variations in rates of cheating among students within different majors. With generalagreement among these studies that higher percentages of business and engineering studentsengage in cheating which are 91% and 82% respectively compared to students in the social andnatural sciences which are 73% and 71% respectively (McCabe, 1997, Mattei, 2008). Likewise,past research has identified that variations in rates of cheating among university students fromdifferent
