Why computer science students cheat

Pressure to achieve running code leads more undergraduates to copy, collude on homework assignments. This explains a lot of what happened during my education at the college level. Their were many cheaters my first two years but they seemed to disappear the last two years of my studies. Cheating may have had something to do with them being gone. I remember one of my first classes in a 350 person lecture hall, the professor said look to your right then look to your left. The professor said that both of those people you just looked at will probably drop out or leave college before earning a degree. I am sure the professor was spot on with that judgment because I do not remember seeing those two people four years later.
