Am I missing something?
Could someone explain how cheating is helping anyone learn anything?

I think I missed this course when I completed my degrees. I am astounded at how individuals think they can cut and paste information and use a different reference name to disguise the information. While I may experience frustration with getting APA formatting correct, it never crossed my mind to try and misrepresent the information. In other words, it never crossed my mind to cheat.

Have individuals become so accepting of the scandals in our society that they are allowing them to influence how they complete their class assignments? I shudder to think if these individuals are also using these same standards in other areas of their life.
