Mean rank scores showed that faculty of both schools were stricter than students and clinical staff were stricter than non-clinical staff (p < 0.05). The UK students were stricter for 16 and Saudi students were stricter for 10 lapses of academic integrity (p < 0.05). Yearly stratifications of students' recommendations identified a pattern of learning process as indicated by higher sanctions by senior students than their junior cou...Continue Reading
