Sorry for the belated response to your query. The fours exams in my
Intro to Psych class of ~200 students are all multiple choice and I
typically have students turn in 8-10 homework exercises. I don't have a
regular paper requirement but usually receive about 100 journal article
summaries from those students who opt out of research participation
during the semester.

Hi everyone,
I am curious to find out the "average" load given to Into Psych
students, both in terms of assignments, and exams (only MC, or development
as well).
I typically assign two papers in the first semester, and a 20-minutes oral
presentation (supported by a bibliography) in the second semester.
My exams are always a combination of MC and short-answer questions.
As I am chomping through all the marking on my desk, I am left to wonder if
this self-imposed load is representative of what is being done elsewhere.
Cheers!

I don't have two sets of grading standards; one for native English
speakers and another for non-native speakers. Nor do I think it
appropriate to have two sets of standards for academic dishonesty. All
students are told what does, and what does not, constitute plagiarism.
I also tell students that I will be happy to examine their papers
before the due date to ensure that their work is within the
guidelines. Students are also told that this "pre-inspection" of
papers is entirely without penalty. Any plagiarism discovered in a
draft will be identified for correction but will not be considered
academic dishonesty. However, "ignorance of the law" is not a viable
excuse once the papers are turned in on the due date.

I also tend to agree with the hard-line approach that others have
advocated. On the other hand, I wonder how you would handle the
case if the student who plagiarized was foreign-born, had received
his/her undergraduate education outside of the US, had limited
English skills, and his/her native language used a radically
different alphabet system (e.g., Cantonese)?
