Abstract

Two studies confirmed that undergraduates expect passing grades in online and in-person courses even when they fail to meet course standards or when they cheat. High entitlement and low engagement predicted higher grade expectations. Non-college participants were less forgiving for poor performance but were more lenient than undergraduates regarding plagiarism.
