McEwan argues that student success at university level is partly dependent on narrowing the difference between student and staffexpectations and is particularly important now that the student body includes an increasing proportion of international students, who may take longer to adapt to the university culture. The same is also true of the increasingly diverse university staff, who often come from very different academic cultures. The two most significant findings of the study concerned plagiarism and essay focus. In both cases there was a substantial difference between staff and student opinion. While all the students claimed to understand the meaning of plagiarism, a majority of teachers (over60%) felt that they didn't. Similarly, nearly all the students claimed tofocus on answering the question in the essay title, but only one-fifth of the teachers thought that they did.
