Sometimes it's no better here in the west. I know of a situation where a Chinese student fabricated every source for a paper. Completely made up everything. The professor saw right through it immediately and failed her. But the university big wigs told the professor to give the student a passing grade. The student graduated university.



IMO this whistle needs to be blown because as who knows how many dangerous engineers, doctors, or whatever other safety critical professions are being graduated.


Not in the US. Not a science degree. It was a few years ago.

Not a great situation but I can assure you no lives are at risk.


In the United States? Reference?


I can attest that cheating is rampant in the UC system. Especially among Asian nationals. College is mostly a joke at this point.
