For the majority of students, cheating is out of the question because success can only be achieved through honest and hard work, i.e. academic integrity. Some cultures, like in China, have copying so ingrained that scientists don't consider plagiarism cheating at all, while some students do it just to have an easier time.
According to the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada (AUCC), there are 1.2 million full- and part-time students enrolled at 95 institutions of higher learning across our nation. How many of them might cheat on their way to graduation isn't clear.
