talk to the student yet?

I did. He doesn't want to drop the class so he's taking his chances.

well but he cheat I mean he used your work won't that make him failed your class? why won't he drop it anyway weird

in theory I could fail him for this, in practice because he is a foreign student admin will claim it's a "cultural misunderstanding"

he will probably fail anyway, but I've seen students remain hopeful in far worse circumstances

fascinated by this cultural misunderstanding thing. Has this been in play for very long?

cultural misunderstanding BS! Anywhere in the world if you have to submit paper then you are expect to think it yourself

you could get an idea from other paper but NOT copy and paste and claimed other as yours

I said failed him!
