[nquktlwc] Punishing plagiarism

A teacher assigns a writing assignment and a student submits plagiarism.  Consider assigning part of blame to the teacher who assigned work for which plagiarism would be easy.

Inspired by the Stanford Honor Code, which explicitly places responsibility on both parties to prevent cheating.

Perhaps the students are instead assigned to improve an already existing work, say, Wikipedia.
