Cheating and Plagiarizing: https://www.amle.org/BrowsebyTopic/WhatsNew/WNDet/TabId/270/ArtMID/888/ArticleID/833/Cheating-and-Plagiarizing.aspx
Rick Wormeli, the author of this article, is one of my favorite educational authors and this article is an excellent example of why. The article explains some of the reasons why students cheat/plagiarize, what teachers can do when cheating/plagiarizing has occurred, and examples of assignments that can diminish the changes of cheating or plagiarizing. I especially liked his reasoning that even though a trust has been broken when a student cheats, there should be an end time after which the student can build the teacher's trust again. The student does not need to be punished forever because of an immature decision.
