punishment of cheating

What do you think should be the punishment for students who cheat in this class? It’s possible that some students who have cheated in class may not have really thought about what they were doing and now regret it. Should they be allowed a second chance to “fix” their mistakes? If so, what can they do to fix their earlier mistakes?

I’m sure that cheating should be punished, because other people do work hard on their works and spent times thinking and write down the works, it is unfair for those who works really hard, but I’m sure cheaters do have some reason to cheat, it is also a kindness of giving them another chance to change , since people are not saint, we make mistakes, why not just give them another chance? There’s the problem, there are so many kinds of cheating, for example,

Doing a writing assignment for one class and then turning it in for two, three, or even more classes because you are too busy to do another writing assignment. And asking someone else to write a few paragraphs of your paper for you—but you still do most of it.

Might not all of the student think these are cheating, what is the standard of cheating? I think it depends on what kind of cheating and give the punishment. If it’s coping people’s work then might they have to give a bigger punishment, like write more homework or do something to make up with it, but if it’s t like the examples I really don’t think it’s necessary to make any punishment, probably just ask them not to do it next time.
