Abstract

College students (N=422) read a cheating scenario involving online or face-to-face classes. Responses showed significant differences in acceptance of and greater need to cheat in online classes. Similar significant differences were found in student motivation, focus, enthusiasm, greater perceived teacher preparation and enthusiasm, and some results were stronger post-Covid.
