plagiarism
I do think if an University expels a student is over top, but if you look at the regulations and school codes, it talks about expulsion if plagiarising. I think the schools expel the kids to show the kids how serious the university is about plagiarism. Even though the kids did get expelled, they were probably aware of the fact about plagiarism and what comes with it. I do think the code is harsh and should be put on like academic probation or some sort of an agreement of punishment but not expulsion. Expluslion is always a harsh punishment, especially for a student attending a University. Also, I think since theres no principals office and a system designed for kids to act up, if you go before the school board at a University, it is likely going to be more harsh of a punishment. I still dont agree with the fact of the kids getting expelled right off the back.

I agree with you. The punishment was too harsh, and if the school system was so serious about plagiarism, they should have made sure to inform the new, incoming students about their regulations. I think the students were more ignorant about how strict the schoolboard really was, then simply being deliberate.
1.your thesis is strong. plagiarism is a interesting subject and yes the expulsion thing is to harsh of a subject when it comes to copying. but there should be a monitor of his work and a threatening kind of thing.
2.I know that you have more to say so I'm sure you will include that in your final essay.
3.You do have a valid point that can be taken into more detail in your finished work.
4. I think that you could include how the school system feels about the subject.
5.I know you have more to say so I'm sure that you will include that later.
6. The counter claims thing is a really good idea because it adds depth to your paper.
