With regard to the OP, I agree. My student seemed genuinely regretful, as if she wasn't aware of the rules.
I guess I should have mentioned that she plagiarized me. Literally copied from an article I wrote.
So she was probably unaware that she was plagiarizing. No need to go through disciplinary hearings for that. More a teachable moment.

Just save your money and go work for a union or something. Wasting your money and time going to college but not completing the activities.

it didn't go through any sort of computer check site. The only way she found out was because my friend who I copied off of just so h aopened to have one of the best papers she'd ever gotten and she still had it saved on Her computer. It really helped that my friend was one of the best students she ever had. I think it made her think I was a really good student who just made a stupid decision
What in the hell are you talking about? Do you think that because the plagiarism was not detected through software that it wasn't actually plagiarism??
One thing I do know for certain is that you are NOT a really good student who just made a stupid decision. You are a lazy, frick-up. As others have stated you are lucky as hell and you don't seem to grasp that. Instead of being grateful and contrite, you are unrepentant and snide.

You guys would be surprised. I'll just leave it at that.
It’s one thing to give a student you like a bump in GPA that clearly worked their arse off and needs the credit. There are also plenty of frick ups in good groups that the teacher knows about but go on to make a decent grade. But if a good student is thrown in a group of nothing but frick ups who don’t show up, then the teacher will often throw that student a bone and fry the rest of the group. This type of grading curb I think regularly goes on behind the scenes.
But a guy coming in and admitting point blank to plagiarizing the paper getting a redo for half credit? Get the frick out of here. There was at least a person or two in every class with a major paper that I was in that didn’t get turned over to the Dean but were given zeros for plagiarism. And now he’s bragging he’ll still cheat by getting others to write it for him. This teacher did a major disservice to this kid.

That one I’d more blame on a bad high school that didn’t teach their students how to write a paper. I’d probably throw her a bone if she was a freshman or something like that.

How does she come to the conclusion that you care if you’re so lazy that you steal someone else’s work?

I'm just saying you'd be surprised how often this type of thing happens because it creates extra work for the prof.
1-Profs are extremely overworked, and disincentivitzed from doing things that create more work.
2-They are incentivized to care about research and disincentivized to care about teaching, esp. undergrad level teaching.
3-They are incentivized to get good student evals, which means being popular among students is more important than being a hard arse.
That's the truth. Even at Harvard. Hell especially at Harvard. The more research-heavy the university, the more true my statements are.

See....you sounded so sincere about having "learned your lesson" before, but now I'm really getting that "my shite don't stink" vibe from you. Your instructor has done you a disservice.

OP could fall in a barrel full of dicks and come out suckin his thumb! Unbelievable!
I failed my English Comp 2 class because I legitimately incorrectly cited two sentences in my paper. So the dick bag Prof said that I plagiarized, and gave me a zero on the paper.

I had something similar. Technical foul. I got lazy as the paper went on and did not cite everything. Got a C. It was a miracle i even got out of high school.
Counselor said i was the classic underacheiver. 99%ile on junior merit test and needed big comebacks in physics and am history to even graduate. The c (plagerized by rule) was in english 101.

Which again I get but it's easy to cut the wheat from the chaff if just willing to follow the threads.
Obviously I'm not talking about a thesis, but your run of the mill arts or business paper is all easy to grab up. And with so many sources publishing data online it's a decent veneer to start from.
I'll always argue against direct use since Skeletor lurks.

Accepting another paper after the plagirized paper is a judgement call.
Hopefully the instructor knows their students.

I see why you copied. This sentence is a a shite show.
