[GLN EC Saturday] Topic 11/05: Cheating on Test

According to The Global Search for Education on cheating on test, they did a survey of 24,000 high school students in grades 9-12, 95% of students said they cheated during the course of their education, ranging from letting somebody copy their homework to cheating on tests. Not surprisingly, this problem is also popular at universities. So, why do students cheat on tests? What should we do to improve this situation?  We will discuss more about this issue in the GLN EC’s meeting on Saturday, 11^th May 2013 at 10^th Floor, Keangnam Office Building.
