So, plagiarism is evil
But this pretty much qualifies as cruel and unusual punishment all by itself. But, as stated multiple times in comments, the college probably is going to cop out, and not going to follow through its own plagiarism guidelines [Nabbed from kasa].
Me? I cheated in university only once, and that was by accident. Dropped a pen in Algebra I, and whilst picking up happened (your honor, clearly you can perceive my client’s good faith and lack of intent) to see the the graph of the guy sitting in front of me. And the graph was different, way different. Doublechecked mine, and quickly figured out that I had plussed instead of minusing at one key junction of the calculation. Fixing that, I was a couple of points richer. But got the same grade from the class I’d gotten even if I’d had the wrong answer. Karmic balance (or something) was probably maintained by happening to fall into a very involved group in the Software Special Project-class, and ended up working pretty much double the median amount of hours to pass that.
EDIT 19.8.2008: Sadly, the article referred to is gone.
