i dont care for such people. do read my words properly. i have over 400 other students to care about; those who didnt cheat, didnt commit plagiarism, didnt commit any academic offense. i have legal duty to protect them against cheaters. if i do not push for the severest punishment, then i would not be protecting the interests of the other 400 students.

see my point?

yes, it's just a FYP. but for architecture FYP is the standard that puts u as a practicing architect. when you apply for work, the FYP is the main thing that employers look for, not the CGPA.

I would think that even regular assignments should be properly cited, or references given where credit is due, much less an FYP.

Our school had an incident awhile ago which ultimately was resolved by failing the offenders' paper (which they plagiarized), but not before they went through a hearing and were given a chance to defend their case. To make sure all students are aware of the seriousness of plagiarism, our school fairly recently began to require mandatory online "modules" on what constitutes as plagiarism, which students have to complete to pass any 1st or 2nd year course, so they can't claim they have no idea they plagiarized, or "accidentally" plagiarized, as it's sometimes a pretty fine line to cross when it comes to things like self-plagiarism.
