The total number of respondents is 357 from different courses, both diploma and degree levels. Descriptive statistics revealed that 63.9% of the respondents had a high level of understanding of plagiarism and a moderate level of understanding of plagiarism in terms of mean (3.6675).

It is a quantitative study using a questionnaire survey where data was collected through the distribution of a questionnaire.
