How does cheating in this class work? Copying what your friend posts and using it as your own opinion? Or copying from websites and not giving credit to where they found the information? I think it might be because some students might not have written papers involving MLA conventions. Also, the culture in Taiwan might have different attitudes towards cheating.
If someone cheats, maybe they should do more work in order to achieve the grade they want or discuss the cheating with the teacher privately, since the student(s) might not want other people to know. I am not sure, how can you change a person's idea of what is cheating if they have thought the same way for their whole lives? Punishment can't really change permanently what has been taught or practiced since childhood. Although, it can make cheating again seem less like something they will do again.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that the form of punishment for cheaters in this class depends on the amount of cheating occurring. I think students try to work hard in this class, but their time is limited so maybe second chances should be given.
