These were the types of examination malpractice students resort to and frequency of these examination malpractices; the effects of heavy class population on teaching effectiveness and whether this large class population influenced involvement of students in examination malpractice: four hypotheses were tested using the chi-square (χ2) method of data analysis. The population for the study was drawn from the 14,000 students at the various levels in the Delta State University Abraka. A sample of 220 students were used. At the end of this research all the four hypothesis were rejected.
