What to Do Next?


I am taking evening classes at major Uni. I was accused of plagiarism last month. Due to wfh situation while managing a job, I did copy code from somewhere. I have come forth and apologized. Anything I could do to make situation better? This is first time I have done something. I was under intense pressure and did this due to fear of grades. Is there anything I could do to lessen the punishment? I know I am getting 0 on that part of course, but I want to salvage the situation.

I have learned lesson and will not copy anything again.

write your own code for assignment.

critique the code you copied explain what was good and what is bad.

explain why plagiarism is bad, for you, for your peers, for academe as a whole.

apologize again to everyone who could have possibly have been hurt, like you mean it, not like you got caught.

approach your prof again with your efforts.
