Teachers are asked to grade each student on how that student exercises
the relevant skills.

Sometimes the relevant skills include collaboration, in which case the
students should be expected and encouraged to base their work directly
on the work of others. In these cases, we would expect the teacher not
to discourage sharing of information.

But sometimes different skills are being examined, and the student
should be exercising skills on their own without basing it directly on
the work of others. In these cases, penalties for plagiarism are
appropriate, would you agree?
