On the request for information from colleagues during the tests, 49.7% of the students considered and fully agreed it was not cheating while 38% were somewhat agreeable, only 12.3% rejected it, and 44.9% agreed. The student, who cheats while agreeing to some extent about 40.3%, refuses to forgive the cheaters.
A total of 45.9% of the students agreed that cheating was not a behavior, 35.1% agreed to some extent, 19% considered it to be a behavior, and 41% agreed with the statement “do not avoid cheating”. On this issue 32.4% agreed to a certain extent, while 26.4% of respondents said they did not.
