In response to number 4: If the work is copied or plagiarized, how does one reassess the work to determine actual level of achievement? The achievement is not the students. The achievement belongs to someone else, does it not?
Re-do’s and don’t count zero’s...

“Zeros on assignments: If you give a zero on an assignment because the student did not do it, then it generates inaccurate data. This process is intended to measure student learning. When a zero is given for a missed assignment, the zero is not assessing learning. Assess responsibility in a different way life skills, work habits. Dont penalize kids by giving the zeros for not doing their work.”
Meaning, apply consequences for the dishonesty, and then MAKE HIM DO THE WORK OVER, or do another assignment of comparable difficulty, (supervised to ensure he gets no outside help) to see how HIS work is.
