For the first part, please create an imaginary situation where a student has been accused of plagiarism (or any other form of cheating). Let us know what the student is accused of doing, but more importantly, tell us about that student's life - what stresses them out, what demands are there on their time, etc. Help us to understand why your imaginary student may have made the choice to cheat. Allow this imaginary student to defend themselves. For the second part, create an imaginary response to the student's defense from the perspective of a faculty member or other individual involved in investigating the accusation. Consider what the student told you about their circumstances and their choice to cheat; and then tell us what you, as a professor, would choose to do, and what "punishment," if any, the student should receive.
