of undergraduate and 4 % of graduate students self-report copying materials“ almost word for word from a written source without citation.” 7 % of undergraduate and 3 % of graduate students self-report“ turning in work done by another.” 3 % of undergraduate and 2 % of graduate students report“ obtaining paper from term paper mill.”
In Excel, create a worksheet that addresses the following:
In cell A1, enter the following title for this worksheet: Student Plagiarism Statistics.
In cell A3, enter the following: Form of Plagiarism. In cell B3, enter the following: Undergraduate. In cell C3, enter the following: Graduate.
In cell D4, enter the total number of undergraduate students that participated in the study 63,700.
In cell E4, enter the total number of graduate students that participated n the study 9,250.
Beginning in cell A5, enter each of the six categories of plagiarism identified by this report, one in each row.( These categories are found under the“ Academic Integrity in College and Graduate School” section showing the results of the survey done by Donald McCabe.)
Beginning in cell B5, calculate the number of students that admitted to each offense. To do this, you will need to calculate the number of students based on the percentage provided.
For example, if there were 63,700 undergraduate students that participated in the survey and 36 % admitted to paraphrasing / copying a few sentences from an Internet source, then that would mean that 22,932 students admitted to the offense( 63,700 *. 36). Complete these calculations for all six categories. Be sure to enter formulas and use proper cell referencing, e. g. = D4 *. 36
