 INTRODUCTION

Academic misconduct includes cheating, and cutting classes. Academic

misconduct is an action or any attempted unfair academic advantage. For
example, it is like stealing or attempting to steal an answer key before the
examination. There are so many consequences if anyone has a plan to do
academic misconduct. The consequences of academic dishonesty can be far-
reaching. You could fail a class, be dismissed from your major, or even be
expelled from your school. The severity of the consequences depends upon the
type of academic dishonesty. One of the consequences or the highest
consequences that you might face after doing or attempting unfair academic
advantages is dropping out in your school.

According to Bob Perry (2012), Academic research and newspaper stories

suggest that academic misconduct, including plagiarism, is on the increase. This
apparent increase coupled with new internet enterprises selling 'pass' papers and
customized research are worrying trends. Academic misconduct is deeply
harmful in a number of ways by devaluing awards, frustrating academics and
demotivating 'honest students. Despite the heightened attention given to it, the
entire subject seems to be clouded in uncertainty, not least what students
themselves think. This article addresses student attitudes and understandings of
academic misconduct. Findings from a study conducted within a large business
school indicated that teaching on plagiarism was ineffective and there were many
misunderstandings, which had coincided with high levels of unintentional
plagiarism, bogus referencing and collusion. First-year students in particular
experienced difficulties. As part of this article a theoretical framework for
understanding student behaviour is proposed which may suggest various
improved learning and teaching strategies.
This is where the concept of a "dropout" comes in, One of the issues the
university education system has to deal with each year is dropout. The
educational community is involved in the factors driving this societal issue's
trajectory, which affects all students worldwide. One of the most important factors
in altering the trajectory of university dropouts and slowing their explosive
development in society is its research of and improvement of the educational
system.
