If a student did this....

@soze. Is that what you think the lesson for students should be? “If you make a mistake others just better accept that mistakes happen, you certainly don’t need to do anything about it”?

I would like universities to show students how it’s done. 1) fully admit and apologize for the mistake. 2) make some effort to explain what happened and what steps will be taken to see that it doesn’t happen again. 3) to the extent possible do something to fix the mistake. These are the steps I would want my child to take. I don’t think it’s good to tell students that their mistakes are something other people just have to learn to deal with.
