Before you assigned this project, you went over the topic of plagiarism with all your students. You clearly discussed what plagiarism is, what constitutes plagiarism, and how to cite sources properly to avoid plagiarism. You told your students that you consider it a form of cheating, and that it would not be tolerated by you. You also informed all your students that anyone who did plagiarize would automatically receive a zero for the project. It soon becomes evident to you that a number of projects have been plagiarized from sources on the internet. After reviewing all projects from your classes, you know that almost 30 out of 150 students engaged in plagiarism. As the teacher of these students: a) what course of action will you choose to take with the students who plagiarized and why? b) what ethics theory (theories) did you use to help make your decision?
