Response Questions- Plagiarism

1. In my opinion, there has some reasons that why students choose to cheat. Firstm teachers always give them the difficult questions and don't give them help or they don't think maybe it is too difficult to let them to do. When students can't solve questions and also can't find way to solve, they choose to cheat. Second, students don't prepare well for test so that they choose to cheat. But it is the reason that more people can't accept. Wrong is wrong. There is no excuse. Third, students may think it doesn't matter that they cheat on quiz instead of exam. They may think that exams are more important than quizs. Someone may think they can cheat on quizs insted of eaxms.
I had cheated on quiz with my classmates in high school, but we insist that we won't cheat on the exam no matter how difficult it is even we may get zero.
However, it is wrong to cheat on anything I know.

2. In Taiwan, when someone plagiarize and is found, teacher may give them zero and give them a punishment of the school. They also failed the subject, and students should restart to study. If you want to restart the subject, you should pay extra money and time for that subject.
I think these may be a sufficient deterrent for some students. They will follow it honestly, but for other students, it is no use. They didn't afraid of punishing.
I think if the law had ordered, maybe plagiarism may decline or disapear. But it is too strict, maybe we could have another good way to solve this problem. I don't know what the way it is now.
