Foreign Students Seen Cheating More Than Domestic Ones
As a former foreign student in the US, I take some offense at the generalization of all foreign students as cheating.<p>Now I couldn&#x27;t read more than the initial lines of the article since I didn&#x27;t have an account, but judging from the comments here there was no distinction between the type of foreign students.<p>In the name of political correctness I think one is generalizing across all foreign students, when there are wide varieties between the subgroups. I was a foreign student from Norway e.g. who studied with a lot of Indians. We have very little in common culturally and certainly with respects to the view on cheating. My impression was that cheating was endemic in India and while the Indians I knew were very nice people, they cheated an awfully lot. I simply don&#x27;t think they viewed that as that bad of a thing to do. More than half I could actually see cheating through the exam. Others paid for homework.<p>Of course we also had different incentives in that my life did not depend that much on my American exams. For many Indians it could make the difference between poverty or wealth.
