I assumed it was a homework, not a test, which is the reason I suggested failing the assignment, not the whole class. A test would be an automatic letter in the their file. The fact that several of them did it is what makes it troubling.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I WOULD make copies of all the plagiarized assignments before handing them back, though.
Oh yes, do this if you can.
I'm going to have a talk with the whole class about it, without mentioning individual names.
And then talk to them in private Hil, and as Strix suggests hand them their asses.
It's a tricky situation because you don't want them to poison the whole semester. Ugh.
Juliebird, you're not a failure; you're stuck between two conflicting expectations. That is a set-up for never being able to please everyone (or anyone) and isn't a reflection of you. It's a horrid situation to be in, and very frustrating.
Hil, after I had a horrible, horrible fight regarding an egregrious case of plagiarism and the parent was awful and the student accepted NO responsiblity, I became ultra-careful with keeping records of ANY kind of plagiarism. UGH. Man, talking about being proud of myself for not stabbing a bitch -- thinking about THAT fiasco STILL makes my blood pressure rise.
I'd planned to hand the papers back tomorrow, but I'm not going to be able to get to a copy machine before class, so I'll wait and hand them back on Monday.
I'm not sure that I can really have private conversations with 15 different students. There's just not enough time.
Dear GA,
Would it KILL YOU to get an actual starfield? You can find them anywhere, why the crappy pinholes/nothing resembling reality. Same goes for all the other shows. It's ridic.
No love
