My teacher is very pissed of and dissapointed. How do I pass the class?

Our teachers is very angry because some students might of plagerized on their take home test. She said copying off a website and she was blunt and straight up to the point and showed her hostility to us (we're in college). She said don't anymore wheb we have test 3 or else she'll give us an F or withdraw us. And it will follow in out record forever. She said for those who did that will get a 0. I think I'm one of them. I have a 40.94% in my class. Should I just withdraw?
I DID NOT COPY AND PASTE!

I would buck up and talk to the instructor, and then your advisor. Your teacher may not be your advisor, but she'll know where you stand, and I seriously doubt she has anything but your best interest in mind.

@hlpflwthat: I did not copy or paste. $24? What does that have to do with my question?

When you withdraw from a class, you forfeit the tuition paid for that class. You have to replace those credits with another class that costs more tuition. Maybe that hadn't occurred to you?

@plaguewatcher: No of course I didn't copy and paste. I just wrote some of it.

no matter [i]how[/i] you do it.. word for word copying from a web site or book or other publication is plagiarism unless you mark it with quotation marks and give a footnote for the source.
yo may want to discuss with the instructor, that you were unclear on this distinction. Many are!
