Their teachable moment is that plagiarism has consequences, and they earned that lesson entirely by themselves.

"Teachable moments" are for freshmen. Cheating seniors can get fucked.

On a very related note, I actually earned my CS degree.

universities take plagiarism very seriously. Friend of mine teaches stage craft (how to make sets, props, costumes, lighting and sound design/planning/execution/engineering)

First semester, first test, easy pass: Someone pokes their head into the class and my friend goes to the door to answer them, stepping outside for like ~30 seconds

comes to mark the papers:

"In a proscenium theater, what is the very front of the stage called?"

Real answer: apron

55% of the student answers: the same made up word that sounded vaguely Portuguese with no hits on Google.

even though it's super dumb and super easy and barely matters at all and is a one word answer to a basic question - the students ended up being investigated by the university and my friend had all his classes audited.

Cheating is taken VERY seriously at every decent University. As it should.

I hope my Uni had this. I have never cheated, but cheaters sometimes have better grades than me.

Nah fuck em

I'm going to allege that such "educational" institutions' focus on "cheating" is harmful and dangerous for their students.

I'm a flight instructor. Students would show up to my class actually afraid to be caught writing things down to refer to them later. They were afraid to be caught using checklists. They would overwhelm themselves trying to commit entire technical manuals to memory. That's not how anything actually works. The FAA prints all these references so pilots can read them. We don't take them away from you when you pass your practical.

Checklist usage in the cockpit is a required skill to pass a practical test. The examiner has to see you using a checklist during the test in order to pass you. Writing things down so you can refer to them later, like flight planning and ATC clearances, also a required skill. Schools make people afraid to do these things.

If you've got a kneeboard that has the tower light gun signal chart printed on it, and you lose the radio and need light gun signals, you're not going to have your license taken away from you if you use that quick reference. Too many students bring that pressure into flight training with them. It's a fun bit of deprogramming to do.

At this point I'm only hoping to emerge from the other side of the "based" fad although I've never understood what it meant. WTaF is "brain pilled"?

Groovy. Tubular. Fetch.

At a certain point though, you've just plain done the work. If you jump through enough hoops to cheat then you have to know the material well enough. Like doing a bunch of editing passes on downloaded papers.

Teacher's Assistant/Teaching Aide

Basically an older student helping teach the younger ones as a parttime job. Generally involves a lot of crappy work like supervising labwork, helping out with grading and answering the same question 18 times.

At university most teachers have serious dedication. It's just not for teaching, lmao.

But once you do your thesis, discussion in their respective fields of research or general expertise is really awesome.

Entrapment is coercing someone into committing a crime they wouldn't have otherwise.

This was a honeypot. A bait for those who were already looking to cheat.

No, that's the format.

Be someone else

Doesn't have quite the same ring.
