What we call cheating may be interpreted differentially.I have noticed that among some Moslem students working out assignments together or even sharing answers or allowing other Moslem affiliates to copy is almost like a religious obligation-as if a good moslem should help another moslem.So is there a religio-cultural imperative?I taught at an institution where the chair of the Mathematics dept. told a faculty gathering that the Arab students in his class were big cheats.
