According to academic integrity policies at most universities, including UFS, repeated instances of plagiarism are typically treated more severely. Since this is David's second instance of plagiarism, it is likely to be considered a **Level 3 offense**. Level 1 offenses are usually for minor infractions, while Level 2 may pertain to a single instance of plagiarism without prior offenses. Thus, given that this is his second violation, it would be classified as more serious.
