Three strikes actually seems pretty lenient
- jeroenhd 3y agoIt wasn't just for cheating, though. Any form of plagiarism was punished this way. In one exercise, we had to set up a website (basic HTML/JS/CSS stuff). To fill up this site with content, one student translated an entire other website without clear credit (there was a little link on the bottom of the index but that was about it). Despite the focus of the course having nothing to do with the content, that was a strike. Another student I knew got a strike got one because in the first report they had to write in a group, one of their team members copied some text from Wikipedia and didn't tell anyone. That probably worked in high school, but it sure didn't work here! The entire group got a strike on their record for that, not even two months into their education. If you were cheating particularly badly, there could be more consequences than "just" a strike. I doubt they'd let you get away with looking up answers to test questions. In contrast, at my current university, cheating is rampant. Entire courses with known mass cheating had no measures taken because that would affect too many students. It's terrible and if things don't change I wouldn't be surprised if degrees would lose accreditation at some point.
