Discussion	Denise opened the floor to creating a Department Policy on cheating, based ACC Administrative policy is very vague and left up to the instructor to decide the action for the student. IDEAS Plagiarism vs. Cheating on an Exam: A Difference? Plagiarism: Zero on the assignment the first time?Removal from class the 2nd time F for the Class? Cheating on an Exam/Quiz Immediate recommendation to the department chair that student withdraw from the class? Or, F for class?
