When I was a TA at Univ. of Michigan I once gave a student an F- because his cheating was so poorly done. I had to check, and it was a legitimate grade. He didn't even put any effort into his plagiarism. It wasn't even interesting to read. (yes, this wasn't out of the blue, he knew it was possible)

He showed up to class twice. He skipped the midterm and answered only two questions on the final (both wrong). His paper had large sections copied from the textbook. I was a very forgiving TA, but this kid just didn't care. I could have had him thrown out, but he was doing that on his own, so F-.
