Re: Beat: I caught one of my students plagiarizing
[ QUOTE ]
Both my principal and my mother, who is a retired principal and a current high school counselor, agreed with my judgment. You have to let the kids learn at this level, even though we all knew when we were kids that plagiarism was an absolute no-no.

Max 80% credit punishment is way to low. You don't have to fail the student, but either give 0% for the assignment or something much smaller than 80%. Same for all the other plagerizers.
The students are going learn that they will be risking little (20% off an assignment) for a potentially large gain (an A on an assignment worth 20% of their grade and a lot of free time).
What are you going to do if these students plagerize again?
