Beyond Bumper Sticker Ethics by Steve Wilkens

Publication Date: 2011-08-02

Ideas have consequences. And sometimes those ideas can be squeezed in to slogans, slapped on bumper stickers and tweeted into cyberspace.

His provocative research indicates that students often cheat because their learning environments give them ample incentives to try.
