Go the North Korean route and instead of the cheater, randomly pick a student in class and fail them instead. Send a message that noone is safe. -- nm - volnelk Apr 8, 08:21
on of my teacher's solutions was to split the mark between you. B's homework got an 80? two 40s it is! -- nm - mafic Apr 8, 08:05 1
- that's good too. maybe give a choice or flip a coin between this and colin's solution. -- nm - zork Apr 8, 08:13
Make Student B do a new assignment or quick quiz under supervision. Student B's grade is Student A's grade as well. -- nm - colin Apr 8, 07:50 2
- nice -- nm - zork Apr 8, 07:55
- Creative! -- nm - nubby, Astro-lord, koozie aficionado Apr 8, 07:52
I don't understand the automatic zero for A, that should be B's grade but A should get less of a penalty since they did do the assignment. -- nm - zork Apr 8, 07:48 1
- sorry, I read it the wrong way around. -- nm - zork Apr 8, 07:49
Copied...or worked together. I think if's math...it's tough to say copied. English/written papers...I would give both a ZERO with a stern warning -- nm - Flavorize w/ Buffalo Wings Apr 8, 07:47 2
- No, A definitely copied B. - nubby, Astro-lord, koozie aficionado Apr 8, 07:53
- This is my concern. If they did the assignment together, which could be a fair assessment, I would let it slide. But if it's full on copying then idk. -- nm - Shaun Apr 8, 07:48
also, if the copier owns up totally and completely; maybe give him a makeup assignment of some sort for a half grade - Beaker Apr 8, 07:44 1
- Yeah, that would require a lot more work on my part. But good thinking. -- nm - nubby, Astro-lord, koozie aficionado Apr 8, 07:46
If complicit, zero. If not, full credit. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 8, 07:42
depends on if they were complicit...even then, they did the work so I wouldn't flunk them -- nm - David Apr 8, 07:40
A full grade or 10% off the homework score and a warning that the next time student B shares the zero with student A. -- nm - Krusty Apr 8, 07:38
Did student B allow it? If so, same grade. Zero -- nm - CQ Apr 8, 07:38 1
- I shall discover this in about 15 minutes. -- nm - nubby, Astro-lord, koozie aficionado Apr 8, 07:39
sleep with the teacher -- nm - charlie Apr 8, 07:38
a warning that if it happens again they get a 0 as well -- nm - Beaker Apr 8, 07:38
Explusion -- nm - oblique Apr 8, 07:37 2
- Coronal mass explusion? -- nm - nubby, Astro-lord, koozie aficionado Apr 8, 07:37
- and you can give me a detention also for misspelling -- nm - oblique Apr 8, 07:37
