Why do you think that most
people use unethical practices to cheat academically?
Most people use unethical practices to cheat academically because just the thought of it stresses them to an extreme amount but it could also be because they waited until the last minute and wanted to get it done the night before it was due. In, some cases they do it because they lack the knowledge to know what is actually plagiarism and what isn't.
Which one of the four
offenses committed you think should have been let off with a warning rather
than expelled? Why?
I think Sandra, who helped her friend, Muhammad, write an outline should be let off with a warning because she didn't know he was going to copy her essay and exact words. She was also unaware that helping out wasn't allowed in certain situations.
What kinds of problems will
follow the students with this on their record?
The student will experience many problems because of this, they will most likely be expelled from there school and will have a hard time getting into a new one. Most schools do not want have to baby sit students to see if they are plagiarizing or not.
Plagiarism policy at one of my local colleges.
At my local college, K-state, the plagiarism policy rather strict. Anyone plagiarizes will be put in front of the honor council. They will be accused and asked for there side of the story before they decide what to do with the accused student. They will either give the student a suspension, a warning, some form of detention or they will be expelled.
