Gray, everybody here can see that you're a very nice girl,
considering about others situation from the bottom of your heart.
But here we are in a world with law and rules. Always there is no
much space for sentiment in many affairs. Make your own
judgement and don't get yourself hurt. Good luck!

I toned down the email a bit and just sent it out. I am ready to get
it out of my system and move on. My own plate is pretty full too.
Cannot afford to be obsessed by this matter any more.
Thanks, all, for you support and suggestions. This is my first
extensive communication on a bbs. Very impressive indeed.

grey, don't be too depressed for this. You can tell yourself: since
they really made a mistake, they should pay for it. This is the thing
that nobody can do for them. As for the email, I think your email is
very well written too. Since you trust the professor and he is asking
for your thought, you can honestly tell they deserve a punishment,
but you hope they still get the chance to continue their school.
Don't let this take control of your emotions. They don't deserve it.

I agree with Friday. Grey mm, I was really quite moved that you are
willing and you have put so much efforts to care about them. Just do
whateve you can, and that will be it. Don't get stressed out over this.
And, I also prey that those two Chinese students can survive this
turmoil and can seriously learn from this. Everybody makes mistakes
somewhere down the road. I mean everybody. And sometimes we
make very stupid mistakes. But everybody deserves a second chance,
if the mistake does not go extreme.

Hey take it easy grey. It's just an annoying thing that happened to
occur in your TA session. Americans tend to treat people
individually, so don't burden yourself with the fact that those two
are Chinese. Have a good night sleep.

Thanks Shanren. I was trying to appeal to his sympathy without
sounding overly pathetic. Also, it is true that the students may
break down. I deleted the examples I put in there--trying not to make
it a real threat. It is a very delicate balance there.
Let me polish it more. Really appreciate it, Shanren.

Thanks Pearl Friday and Typhoon...That is exactly why I have not sent
out the email yet. I agree that the suggestion part should be taken
out.
His decision is to refer the students to the program office, and it
is up to the assistant dean about what to do. He may want to pitch in
some suggestion though. He also wants to avoid too much trouble as
before the class started, he specifically inquired about possible
troublesome students.
Another agenda for him to invite my opinion--may be--related to the
fact that they are about to start dealing with the two doctoral
students from China le. If he feels I am a trustworthy source for
additional information, they might want my input on that matter too.
I am the only CHinese doctoral student in addition to the two in
question.
I feel tremendously pressured. I hope this is all my paronoia.

I, as a bystander, like the email. It is very well written and
presents a strong opinion about the whole incident. But I would tune
it down before sending it to the professor. No doubt he has his own
opinion and decisions seem to have already been made according to his
own judgement. He says he welcomes other thoughts but he surely will
not feel comfortable being adviced or even challenged. I'd take out
the suggestion part, or at least modify it.

I agree that the students should be solely responsible for the
plagarism. They have to receive due punishment to learn to behave
properly. I have no idea about the student in xx's section, but yy
impressed me positively as she did well in another assignment and got
13 out of 15 for that assignment. Her class participation was good
too. It is very disappointing to see this misconduct on the zzz case.
On Tuesday afternoon when I told her that I wanted to talk to her
about the case write-up, she was very remorseful and admitted that
she erred before I confronted her. THen she submitted the second
paper, which I emailed you earlier this afternoon.
I do hate to see them being kicked out of school though. It is a
tremendous financial investment for a student to pursue an MBA
degree. For an international student, it has more impact on their
lives than their US classmates in the sense that it is more of a life-
changing opportunity. I am worried that if they are kicked out, they
will suffer from such bruised ego that their whole life could be
ruined. In extreme cases they could become psychologically unstable
and be dangerous. Note that in our particular case, a couple would go
through this together, which would make it harder to take as they
could turn nobody for support.
Therefore, if I were to handle this situation, I would suggest a less
severe penalty than expulsion. I dont know about the school policy,
but it would be wise to suggest maybe a probation.
Just my two cents. To be frank I was so bothered by the fact that
these students came from China, I was basically depressed ever since
I found out about it.

Cheating in engineering is taken extremely serious in my school.
Profs keep mentioning how copying someone else's work is considered
professional misconduct for Professional Engineer.
So copying small section (such as a diagram in a memo) will be
reported to prof. Any thing beyond that is brought to the associated
dean, and the student will be at least on probation until graduation.

We got an international student survival guide as I attended my MBA
program. Besides listing what you put above, it conspicuously put one
item "Please bath frequently to make yourself pleasantly smelled" (I
couldn't remember the exact wording). I am serious. Oh well, I was
not feeling offended at the moment. I figured out that this item might be
targeting a different ethnic group. But I was still amazed that they would
dare put it there. Maybe the odor issue had got too much a headache to

Which reminds me of one thing: in our TA orientation, our ever so
humorous bio. 101 professor said to us: if it's true love, please,
guys, wail till the semester is over.
That kinda left a lasting impression.
As for the issue of plagerism, I don't think my school gave us any
details orally in the orietation, or maybe as others, my English
wasn't good enough to catch all of it. Details like using quotation
marks for original quotes, cite authors whenever you can and always
use your own words whenever quotation marks are not used, have to be
acquired from experience, some people learned them the hard way, I
fortunately learned them from others' heartbreaking experience.
Undergrads may receive more comprehensive instructions, but grad
students are sometimes assumed aware of the them. Call it negligence
on the University side, but that's the reality in some schools.

For those graduate students who do TA will take it more seriously
since they both teachers and students at the same time, and they have
training/workshop about this particular issue.
For those unders, MBA students or any other students without TA
experience, they might not know how serious it is.
What Stang suggested is a good idea. It should be part of the

In my department, two students were forced to quit because of cheating. One

I think Mr. Grey has a good heart and wish to help fellow chinese if he
could. But I really don't think covering-up would do any good to the
reputation of chinese student as a whole.
As a metter of fact, when I applied for graduate school years ago, I
benifitted from the good reputition sb else set up in that department.
That student was from the same department in the same university I
went to in china. We didn't know each though. He came to united states
and joined the graduate school one year before I applied for the same
program. His professor was the chair of the committee that is in charge
of selecting perspective students from numeous application letters. I
had a friend in the same university and he went to that professor to ask
for the admitting results. That professor aparently didn't remember my
name at the begining. But as he pulled out my materials, he said:" Oh, I
have a student from the same place. And that student is great. OK, I
don't mind have another good student in the department. I will suggets
this guy in next week's meeting." And I got the fellowship.
After I started my graduate study, I figured out who that person was. He
migt never know what he had done for me, but I always feel gratefulness
for him to setup such a good impression among Americans, not only for
himself, but also for all the other chinese students to come. God works
in a mysterious way.
The point here is: setting up a good repution is more benificial to your
fellow chinese than covering up some stupid mistake for them.

btw not all cases of plagiarism result in expulsion (though this case
sounds pretty serious). there are appropriate procedures, and what
they get from the academic committee is simply beyond your control.
plus, would you be willing to lie for them in a formal hearing too?

If you wanna Gong Shi Gong Ban, just pass the hot potato to your
professor.
If you wanna give your student a second chance, because you think
that they are fresh out of China and don't know how things work in
US, you could hint him/her (just your student, not the spouse) in

Don't remember that any of the students I TAed cheated. Maybe all the
classes I taught were experiments. Or I didn't have many Chinese
students?
Some of them did take shortcuts or were simply too lazy. But that
will be reflected in their scores.

You already threw them into sh*t holes by talking about it to other

The best thing that you should have done is to warn your student and
ask him to resubmit. It is too late for anything now.

可是听着人家批判他们,偶自己心里也感到羞耻。闹出来以后,对这里所有的中国学

I didn't suggest hiding anything. Mr. Grey should present the cheating
paper first and make it clear to the professor that you don't think such a
cheating is excusable. The decision is up to the professor. But as the
TA, Mr. Grey should have the chance to tell the professor his
impression about the student. This could make some difference.

for your own sake, gray, DO NOT TRY TO COVER FOR THEM!! as a teaching
assistant, you are an employee of the university, and that identity
comes before any affinity you might feel for your countrymen.
cheating is simply wrong. it's the only sin one can possibly commit
in academia. it's their responsibility not to cheat; it's yours to
report such cases to the professor. if all chinese cover for chinese,
when will we ever learn? i think what you have done for them is
dangerouly close to the acceptable line. remember that you have your
own ethical standards to live up to as a TA. if you do anything more
than this, your future at this school is in jeopardy.
BEING CHINESE IS NO EXCUSE FOR PLAGIARISM.

怎么样也不会有皆大欢喜的结果。
俺们这里的一个比较好的私立学校出过几乎同样的事,两个中国人,男女朋友交
了同样的paper,是互相抄,还不是抄老师给的范文,情节比GREY说的轻。结果
是开除。两人不服,联合告到法院说是种族歧视,硬证据在校方手里,当然败

俺的意见是GREY同学可以找他们谈谈,让他们自己先看看怎么办。俺认为直接帮

I believe many people on the forum, including myself, have TA's
experience back in graduate school. It only happened once in my
department. In that class, the assignment was to write a review for a
certain technology. Two students, both chinese unfortunately, was
charged of plagiarism simply becase they didn't give enough detailed
reference, plus they might each had a few sentences copied from
published articles. The latter was probably due to the language difficulty.
They both were given a "F" for the class in the end. In this case, they
were not actually trying to cheat, no making up results, no nothing if
looked upon by me at that time, and it is far less serious than literally
copying the whole sample paper, as in your case. However, the
punishment was serious: one of them lost his second year fellowship
due to this "F". I bet that guy will be super careful about what he write
next time.
As for your case, I agree with Typhoon: "To cheat is unethical, to copy
the same paper handed out by the prof is simple stupidity. ". Well said.
As to what you should do, I believe, besides the ethnical standard, your
reputation as a unbiased TA should be your first concern, since this is
directly related to your future career. Protecting yourself should always
be on top of your priority list, especially rightnow the news is a known
fact among almost all the TAs and perhaps the professor himself. They
are watching you, man, they are. And you are in hot water now. Even if
you did cover up for the bad guy, and they didn't report you, think about
the damage caused to your own image. Does it worth to protect
somebody just because he is a fellow chinese? I, just to speak for
myself, wouldn't do that.
One other concern is that you should becareful in handling the situation.
Don't get burned by either side. I can imagine how they will hate you if
they get severe punishment at the end. Since you have asked that guy
to rewrite a paper, you can tell him sth like:
Look, you know it and I know it, you made a stupit mistake. You copied
a paper which was the same one the professor gave me as the sample.
I might be able to cover sth else, but not this. Let's face it, u are in big
trouble, and I hope you should realize that I couldn't help too much in
this case. Othewise, I will be fired. What I can do to help you now is to
hand in your second paper and just hope the professor will take this as
your regretful gesture and give you a less severe punishment. I can
also say sth good for you. But I can't garranty anything since this case
is way beyond my control already. If you do want to show how sincere
you are, u might as well write a letter to the professor. I will be glad to
be the messanger. Or you might prefer to talk to him directly. It's totally
up to you. What do you think?"
Actually, to say sth good fpr his to the professor ( in another word, to
beg for mercy for him) is indeed a huge favor in such a sensitive
situation. Make sure he understands that.

that nobody can do for them. As for the email, I think your email is
very well written too. Since you trust the professor and he is asking

but you hope they still get the chance to continue their school.
Don't let this take control of your emotions. They don't deserve it.

I agree with Friday. Grey mm, I was really quite moved that you are
willing and you have put so much efforts to care about them. Just do
whateve you can, and that will be it. Don't get stressed out over this.
And, I also prey that those two Chinese students can survive this
turmoil and can seriously learn from this. Everybody makes mistakes
somewhere down the road. I mean everybody. And sometimes we
make very stupid mistakes. But everybody deserves a second chance,

Thanks Pearl Friday and Typhoon...That is exactly why I have not sent
out the email yet. I agree that the suggestion part should be taken
out.
His decision is to refer the students to the program office, and it
is up to the assistant dean about what to do. He may want to pitch in
some suggestion though. He also wants to avoid too much trouble as
before the class started, he specifically inquired about possible
troublesome students.
Another agenda for him to invite my opinion--may be--related to the
fact that they are about to start dealing with the two doctoral
students from China le. If he feels I am a trustworthy source for
additional information, they might want my input on that matter too.
I am the only CHinese doctoral student in addition to the two in
question.
I feel tremendously pressured. I hope this is all my paronoia.

I, as a bystander, like the email. It is very well written and
presents a strong opinion about the whole incident. But I would tune
it down before sending it to the professor. No doubt he has his own
opinion and decisions seem to have already been made according to his
own judgement. He says he welcomes other thoughts but he surely will
not feel comfortable being adviced or even challenged. I'd take out
the suggestion part, or at least modify it.

I agree that the students should be solely responsible for the
plagarism. They have to receive due punishment to learn to behave
properly. I have no idea about the student in xx's section, but yy
impressed me positively as she did well in another assignment and got
13 out of 15 for that assignment. Her class participation was good
too. It is very disappointing to see this misconduct on the zzz case.
On Tuesday afternoon when I told her that I wanted to talk to her
about the case write-up, she was very remorseful and admitted that
she erred before I confronted her. THen she submitted the second
paper, which I emailed you earlier this afternoon.
I do hate to see them being kicked out of school though. It is a
tremendous financial investment for a student to pursue an MBA
degree. For an international student, it has more impact on their
lives than their US classmates in the sense that it is more of a life-
changing opportunity. I am worried that if they are kicked out, they
will suffer from such bruised ego that their whole life could be
ruined. In extreme cases they could become psychologically unstable
and be dangerous. Note that in our particular case, a couple would go
through this together, which would make it harder to take as they
could turn nobody for support.
Therefore, if I were to handle this situation, I would suggest a less
severe penalty than expulsion. I dont know about the school policy,
but it would be wise to suggest maybe a probation.
Just my two cents. To be frank I was so bothered by the fact that
these students came from China, I was basically depressed ever since
I found out about it.

Cheating in engineering is taken extremely serious in my school.
Profs keep mentioning how copying someone else's work is considered
professional misconduct for Professional Engineer.
So copying small section (such as a diagram in a memo) will be
reported to prof. Any thing beyond that is brought to the associated
dean, and the student will be at least on probation until graduation.

Which reminds me of one thing: in our TA orientation, our ever so
humorous bio. 101 professor said to us: if it's true love, please,
guys, wail till the semester is over.
That kinda left a lasting impression.
As for the issue of plagerism, I don't think my school gave us any
details orally in the orietation, or maybe as others, my English
wasn't good enough to catch all of it. Details like using quotation
marks for original quotes, cite authors whenever you can and always
use your own words whenever quotation marks are not used, have to be
acquired from experience, some people learned them the hard way, I
fortunately learned them from others' heartbreaking experience.
Undergrads may receive more comprehensive instructions, but grad
students are sometimes assumed aware of the them. Call it negligence
on the University side, but that's the reality in some schools.

Two of the issues that are stressed the most are:
1. How to deal with cheating students;
2. Don't get yourself into a sex harrassment case;

For those graduate students who do TA will take it more seriously
since they both teachers and students at the same time, and they have
training/workshop about this particular issue.
For those unders, MBA students or any other students without TA
experience, they might not know how serious it is.
What Stang suggested is a good idea. It should be part of the
FAQs/survival guide, together with "how to find an apartment", "how
to open a bank account", "how to buy a car", etc.

In my department, two students were forced to quit because of cheating. One

I think Mr. Grey has a good heart and wish to help fellow chinese if he
could. But I really don't think covering-up would do any good to the
reputation of chinese student as a whole.
As a metter of fact, when I applied for graduate school years ago, I
benifitted from the good reputition sb else set up in that department.
That student was from the same department in the same university I
went to in china. We didn't know each though. He came to united states
and joined the graduate school one year before I applied for the same
program. His professor was the chair of the committee that is in charge
of selecting perspective students from numeous application letters. I
had a friend in the same university and he went to that professor to ask
for the admitting results. That professor aparently didn't remember my
name at the begining. But as he pulled out my materials, he said:" Oh, I
have a student from the same place. And that student is great. OK, I
don't mind have another good student in the department. I will suggets
this guy in next week's meeting." And I got the fellowship.
After I started my graduate study, I figured out who that person was. He
migt never know what he had done for me, but I always feel gratefulness
for him to setup such a good impression among Americans, not only for
himself, but also for all the other chinese students to come. God works
in a mysterious way.
The point here is: setting up a good repution is more benificial to your
fellow chinese than covering up some stupid mistake for them.

If you wanna Gong Shi Gong Ban, just pass the hot potato to your

If you wanna give your student a second chance, because you think
that they are fresh out of China and don't know how things work in
US, you could hint him/her (just your student, not the spouse) in
someway, so s/he could use some excuse to retract the homework. They
are smart ppl, so the spouse will know what to do on his/her part.
Well, maybe to late now, since you already talked to the spouse's TA
(since you know that spouse turned in the same paper to that TA).

for your own sake, gray, DO NOT TRY TO COVER FOR THEM!! as a teaching
assistant, you are an employee of the university, and that identity
comes before any affinity you might feel for your countrymen.
cheating is simply wrong. it's the only sin one can possibly commit
in academia. it's their responsibility not to cheat; it's yours to
report such cases to the professor. if all chinese cover for chinese,
when will we ever learn? i think what you have done for them is
dangerouly close to the acceptable line. remember that you have your
own ethical standards to live up to as a TA. if you do anything more
than this, your future at this school is in jeopardy.
BEING CHINESE IS NO EXCUSE FOR PLAGIARISM.

I believe many people on the forum, including myself, have TA's
experience back in graduate school. It only happened once in my
department. In that class, the assignment was to write a review for a
certain technology. Two students, both chinese unfortunately, was
charged of plagiarism simply becase they didn't give enough detailed
reference, plus they might each had a few sentences copied from
published articles. The latter was probably due to the language difficulty.
They both were given a "F" for the class in the end. In this case, they
were not actually trying to cheat, no making up results, no nothing if
looked upon by me at that time, and it is far less serious than literally
copying the whole sample paper, as in your case. However, the
punishment was serious: one of them lost his second year fellowship
due to this "F". I bet that guy will be super careful about what he write
next time.
As for your case, I agree with Typhoon: "To cheat is unethical, to copy
the same paper handed out by the prof is simple stupidity. ". Well said.
As to what you should do, I believe, besides the ethnical standard, your
reputation as a unbiased TA should be your first concern, since this is
directly related to your future career. Protecting yourself should always
be on top of your priority list, especially rightnow the news is a known
fact among almost all the TAs and perhaps the professor himself. They
are watching you, man, they are. And you are in hot water now. Even if
you did cover up for the bad guy, and they didn't report you, think about
the damage caused to your own image. Does it worth to protect
somebody just because he is a fellow chinese? I, just to speak for
myself, wouldn't do that.
One other concern is that you should becareful in handling the situation.
Don't get burned by either side. I can imagine how they will hate you if
they get severe punishment at the end. Since you have asked that guy
to rewrite a paper, you can tell him sth like:
Look, you know it and I know it, you made a stupit mistake. You copied
a paper which was the same one the professor gave me as the sample.
I might be able to cover sth else, but not this. Let's face it, u are in big
trouble, and I hope you should realize that I couldn't help too much in
this case. Othewise, I will be fired. What I can do to help you now is to
hand in your second paper and just hope the professor will take this as
your regretful gesture and give you a less severe punishment. I can
also say sth good for you. But I can't garranty anything since this case
is way beyond my control already. If you do want to show how sincere
you are, u might as well write a letter to the professor. I will be glad to
be the messanger. Or you might prefer to talk to him directly. It's totally
up to you. What do you think?"
Actually, to say sth good fpr his to the professor ( in another word, to
beg for mercy for him) is indeed a huge favor in such a sensitive
situation. Make sure he understands that.

I think here you are talking about cheating on an Engineering area,
like doing the homework or something. I met this before when I was a

I warned them and they changed from then on.
This is not as serious as this one grey mentioned. For an MBA, to
write a 6 page paper is a work demanding creativity, original

作业(工程方面的),他竟然还置疑那个女生的人品:简直是小气成性,根本不讲
义气的说!居然还有很多人附和,说是啊就有那样一些女生。
简直是无耻到了不要脸的地步。

To cheat is unethical, to copy the same paper handed out by the prof
is simple stupidity. If you were the only TA, you could've done some
thing out of camaraderie, but you have no control over the other
paper. Correct me if I'm wrong, but you can't save both, right?
Let's say we take a step back and say that you have decided to have
them rewrite the papers. Would they just go find some other paper to
copy or would they actually sit down and write something on their own?
They are adults now, they shouldn't need whipping for something so
foundamental, and you shouldn't risk your job, school, and reputation
for people without 诚信.

This is a little bit difficult. remeber there are TWO people here,
and there is also this other T.A. You have to tell him
to give the couple a break as well.. and you dont know what would
come out of that.
It also depends on the prof. If he's a known tough guy on this
kind of ****, he might really dislike the 'second chance'

刚从新语丝上看到这一篇。
这件事情发生的时机实在不好。前一阵偶们系里讨论招生,决定今年根本不考虑PRC的
学生--因为去年来的两个学生让某些教授很DISAPPOINTED。偶心里已经结了一个大疙
瘩。
偶自己对自己的ETHICAL STANDARDS也产生怀疑了。要是抓住的是个非同胞,偶根本
不会有什么SECOND THOUGHT吧。。。真矛盾。唉。。
◇◇新语丝(www.xys.org)(www.xys3.org)(groups.yahoo.com/group/xys)◇◇
也说如果骗子是时代人物,那中国是什么时代?
--兼答陶沙
瘦马
我想,这已经有了答案,外国人给封的。就是PRC, the Peoples Republic of
Cheating。不能说这是恶意的诋诬,如我们古训所云:“旁观者清”,命名缘于
有距离的观察,总体归纳,高度概括。骗子风行的国度,当然就是骗子的国度。
而骗子风行的时代,也就是骗子的时代。
我们在愤怒和耻辱同时,更多的是无奈和悲哀。我是老广,我们那有个土说法:
“有起错的姓名,无叫错的花名(绰号)”。外国人是给我们正名哪!“唯名与
器,不可以假人”,实际上是我们授人以柄,让外人有对我们说三道四的兴味和
资格。
就在两天前,我陪一位过路的朋友到巴黎北郊的跳蚤市场。一个卖衣服的阿拉伯
裔小贩向我们招呼,“日本人”?“中国人”?我回答是“中国人”。他指着他
档口的标着Puma, Polo, Reebok等标签的衣物和鞋子对我们说,“多亏了你们。”
我听了心里有点不舒服的感觉,但不是很强烈,就一点点,因为,我不把这视为
恶意的针砭,而只是适时的调侃。然而表面的轻嘲却藏着入骨的真实。
前些天,台湾的中华民国外交部开始在护照上加注“台湾”的字样。因为旧护照
经常让来自台湾的中国人给误会成中华人民共和国的公民而引起一些不愉快的经
历。当然不能排除台湾当局借机造势,大做“统独”文章,但他们摆在台面上的
理据却是朴实的。不过我依然怀疑进一步区分了“台湾”“大陆”的护照的功效。
因为,需要出示护照的场合毕竟不多,而大部分的外国人也并不因为你是中国人
就歧视,你是台湾人就亲近。至于对于那些的确给我们贴上了标签的外国人,他
无缘透过你的护照来验证你的身份,对他她来说,无论你拿的是中华人民共和国
的护照,中华民国(台湾)的护照,中华人民共和国(香港特别行政区)的护照,
中华人民共和国(澳门特别行政区)的护照,甚至是,你已经归化入籍了,都一
样。你的国别,写在了你剥不掉的皮肤、隆不起的鼻梁上,你就是中国人,PRC。
官式的称谓是the Peoples Republic of China,对一些促狭的或者个别不怀好
意的外国人来说是the Peoples Republic of Cheating。

在美国学校作弊真是很严重的一件事. 我们在国内大概都做过, it is more like
joking on the system and everyone does so, 所以不会重视. 我猜这两个学生
可能还带着这种观念,也没有人警告过他们,只是simply stupid,不是明知故犯. 能有
改正的机会最好.

I had three students copy each other in my class. very clear
and all same stupid errors. they also copied each other before
but in much less degree so I gave them a hint first. but they
did it even worse... I reported to the teacher in charge of
the class.... he only gave them a warning and didn't report
to school at last though.
so it's up to the professor... as a TA, I think you have the
responbility to report the incident though...

偶也知道他们不容易。这两夫妇齐齐自费来读MBA,也算不错了。不知怎么拿到去年的
PAPER,就交上来了。偏偏这篇被抄的PAPER就是教授给TA的范文--他们的眼光是好
的。
他们两个在不同的SECTION,同一个教授,两个不同的TA。太明显了,装做没发现的
话,他们的PAPER会成范文,教授只要溜一小眼就发现了,倒会显得偶这个TA是吃白
饭的。再说,另一个SECTION的TA,一个法国人,也不会视而不见。
昨天问了几个其他的TA,一个说,他们这么大人了,自己不对自己负责,怎么能叫别
人对他们负责呢。直接上交教授得了。
另一个从香港来,说,他们拿到去年的PAPER,知道怎么是一篇好PAPER,已经是很好
的INFORMATION。也不过是6页的PAPER,自己写就是了。怎么这么懒惰。
再一个说,要么TOTALLY IGNORE,要么就交给教授处理。STAY OUT OF TROUBLE。
如果偶COVER不成,美国人会对偶的ETHICAL STANDARDS产生疑问。这个,偶以后还
要不要饭碗了。这是关乎一辈子的事呢。
听着都有道理。TOTALLY IGNORE是不可能了,牵涉到至少两个学生,两个TA,雷同的
PAPER,还都是抄的。
可是听着人家批判他们,偶自己心里也感到羞耻。闹出来以后,对这里所有的中国学
生都是一个NEGATIVE IMPACT。弄不好还会夫妻双双把家还。也太惨烈了。
另一个SECTION的,也是一个INTERNATIONAL学生,偶教授也没警告,也没讨价还
价,直接给零分,交给PROGRAM OFFICE。今天DEAN跟学生谈话。
偶让这个学生又交了一篇自己写的PAPER,不知能不能帮到他们。
到现在为止,还替他们瞒着名字。成了偶的一块心病。

我们这里会给一次机会,打回去重写,并说清楚严重性。再犯,TA就不管了,交
给professor处理。如果你觉得老师和TA并没有对学生说清楚让他们明白的话,
不妨去和教授说一下,对学生说得更清楚一点,让他们意识到严重性,下次再惩
罚。如果已经说过而且说得很清楚了,那没办法,你什么也做不了。

虽然这里处罚作弊很严格,可是法律程序也很严格.要是那两个作弊的人诉诸法
律,学校也会因为怕麻烦而从轻处罚的.这种事需要证据和证人,只有老师出面做
证才算.而且证人还不止需要一个.很麻烦. 只要你不出面作证,就是帮他了.

Depends on whether other people( including students) know about this
or not. If not, I think you can just give him(her)a chance and a
serious warning. If yes, I guess you have no choice. Hope this helps.
