> 2. You can report it; you will be accused of racism (the majority of the class were people with brown skin). You will be required to sit on an exam board for several days during the holiday season, unpaid.
That's just sad.
> 3. You can explain to them that collaboration is encouraged, but submitting work you didn't do as if it were your own is cheating, and not permitted.
That gives you a great excuse to fail duplicate copies, since they clearly didn't follow the rules. Just split the grade across all duplicates (so something you received three times gets 1/3 of the points). Add a note saying that they can get more points if the other duplicate authors agree to transfer them points.
Watch the chaos.
- denton-scratch 5y agoIf I'd failed or marked-down the duplicates, there would very likely have been an appeal based on accusations of racism, leading to me having to attend an exam board on my own time. That's what I was told by my (much more experienced) colleagues. Basically, I was advised that it's fine to explain the rules, but to actually attempt to enforce them would cause chaos - for me.
