Question 2

Read the following passage and identify the main idea using emphasis word clues to help you.
 
  Cheating is a serious problem on most college campuses. Students cheat for many reasons: they may not have studied enough so they copy from the smarter student next to them; they may feel pressured to excel in order to get into a specific program; or they may have the idea that everyone does it so it's okay. However, an often overlooked reason for cheating is that students do not realize that some of their actions constitute dishonesty. For example, it is not always clear to students when working together on an assignment is allowable and when it is not. Or students may not realize that even if they have restated an idea in their own words, they must still give credit to the person whose ideas they have used in their essay. Therefore, professors should not assume that all cheating is deliberate on the student's part.
