I did ask him about it and he admitted it, but if he had done it with his own brain, it would have been worse, because we went over it in class a bunch first and he was capable of it then.
It was totally pointless though, because the homework was for extra credit. Luckily, I didn’t have to pursue it further, but there are some programs that would have expelled him for it. I can understand that, but I don’t think things would be much improved if he got expelled for it.
I just told him to stop being an idiot, because he’s not learning anything and the other teachers are probably better at spotting it. He was relatively dismissive at first, but he really didn’t learn very much German during a study abroad year, which is actively difficult to do. Now that they’re leaving, he’s realized that he didn’t get much out of the year, academically. Not a big deal, but he’s going to delay his graduation and see some minor consequences. Hopefully it’ll get his head on straight.
