Re: Beat: I caught one of my students plagiarizing

That said - I don't condone cheating, but there's an economics to it - just as is with speeding tickets. Is the time saved worth the amount of trouble for getting caught * times the probability of getting caught? [/ QUOTE ] The amount of work it takes to not get caught cheating is pretty much always going to be more than the amount of work to get a B, especially at colllege. |

but it was first offense [/ QUOTE ] They didn't have any sort of written papers as homework up to this point? [ QUOTE ] and this is summer school in a private summer academy. [/ QUOTE ] That kinda makes it worse to me. She's in summer school either because she couldn't pass the first time or because she wanted to give up some of her summer to learn something she - presumably - could learn doing during the school year. Cheating in either circumstance is as bad or worse than cheating in a "regular" class. Just curious, how did you bust her on the wiki thing? Did you google a sentence from her paper? Were you checking on some fact, or looking for more info on something interesting? Were you checking for plagiarism, or just stumble across it? |
Re: Beat: I caught one of my students plagiarizing
man, if she was smart she would use the "I wrote the wiki" excuse. Genius.

Go back and look through her papers and see if it's a habit or just a one time deal. If it's a one time thing (and maybe she has some sort of explanation?), just fail the assignment (maaaybe offer a high F if she re-does the assignment and has a good explanation since this is worth so much of her final grade). If it's happened before, auto-fail the class. In college this kinda thing could get you kicked out of the entire University. What kinda message does that send to the other kids? Don't 100% plagiarize your papers, 'cause if you get caught you'll only get a B (on that assignment, and still ace the class). |
