>I messaged the student that they had plagiarized the assignment from a website. I sent the link. They immediately wrote back and said I had the wrong link and that they copied it from a different website.

Plagerizing an ethics violation apology letter...to a lecturer who is clearly on a mission. At that stage just fail them.

Clearly they have neither ethics nor intelligence going for them so that spot in higher education is best taken up by a more deserving member of society.




I kinda agree; I feel like they probably walked away thinking "I got away with it" and not "I need to seriously reassess my priorities".
