The Effect of Grade Point Average and Free-riding (cheating) Behavioral Tendency on the Usefulness of Take-home Tests
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper assesses the distribution of free-riding behavior among different qualities of business students, investigates their perception of the ethics of such behavior, and examines the extent of the usefulness of take-home tests in view of the inherent opportunity they provide for students to free-ride. The results show: (1) Students recognize free-riding for what it is and view it as unethical; (2) Low-performing students are more likely than high-performing students to freeride; (3) Take-home tests provide pedagogical benefit to all students but they are more helpful to high-performing students than to low-performing students.
