Cheating Question 3

I saw the news before. An employee who was a manage in a chain of store was caught due to stealing money privately. He was not fired. The boss wanted him to tell every employee why he did and even told to the other stores. Finally, he regretted it and appreciated his boss, so he worked hard than before. The accomplishment of the store which he managed was outstanding after that event. Maybe we could ask the person who is caught to tell students why he/she wants to cheat. I think it’s a good way. The person can be given a second chance and also a warning for every student. Maybe at first, a person who wants to cheat thinks the result before he/she does. Because the punishment is more impressing.

Plagiarism : Agree or Disagree

I agree with this punishment. I think it’s another way to give students a chance instead of being kicked out at first time. If I were that person, I would be forgiven and be given a second chance. People are not perfect. Everyone is likely to mistake, and maybe it is not in cheating but in other sections. At the first time, they mistake, but they admit their wrong behavior and are willing to mend their ways. We should give them a chance. In the other hand, they have to be given severe punishment such as “being kicked out” if they do that again. Anyway, I consider the person who mistakes twice must think he/she should be “lucky” person, and he/ she doesn’t learn the lesson, so we don’t forgive him/her again.

Cheating Question 2

I think the punishment of Taiwan is impossible to carry out as same as the punishment of America. If the schools do that, many parents may protest against this policy. To avoid this situation, the Taiwan’s schools do not want to do that. I am not sure what types of the punishment are implemented. I consider it depends on the teachers. As usual, if you are caught, you will be failed and also get zero. Next semester, you should take this course again.


For some students, they don’t want to do that because it wastes time taking this course twice. For others, maybe they think they will be “luck”, so they are willing to take the risk in order to get good grade. No matter how severe punishment the schools implement, some people still are willing to take the risk.

A second chance or not

I think I will give them a second chance. If they find they surely do that, all they should do is rewrite these articles and do not do that in the future. In fact, I consider rewriting is not very important. The important thing is that don’t do that again. In my opinion, it means you learn this lesson and you are responsible for your behavior. If they do not change their attitude, getting severe punishment is no use.
