Re: Stupidity
The Plagerizer did NOT show up for class yesterday, so I couldn't discuss with him. He probably read the paper and realized how much he f*cked up. I can turn him in for academic dishonesty, but then he'd be expelled and it would be on his transcript forever. I tend to think that at age 18 students are just immature and don't realize the repercussions of something like this, so I tend to just fail them for the class or assignment and hope that thats enough of a learning experience for them. I'd hate to ruin his entire academic 'career' b/c of an immature and stupid mistake.

Re: Stupidity
that honestly just makes me mad, thankfully your a good professor and actually read everything and actually pick up on plagorizm. I know too many students who get away with it. And if there not repremanded for it they keep doing it!

I teach developmental writing to freshmen. Right now they are in the process of doing a research paper. I had them write their introductions a couple of weeks ago and one of them was verbatim from a breast cancer website. I pointed out that he can use the information but had to cite it properly and needed to be redone.

He's lucky to have you as a teacher. He just needs to be taught a lesson about the repercussions of something like this not for his whole academic career be ruined, like you said. He probably still thinks he's in high school! I plagiarized like CRAZY in HS. The smart thing for him to do would be to reach out to you first and apologize.

So, I teach Freshman Comp. I teach this class to FRESHMAN. These freshman must take my class in order to earn their ASSOCIATES DEGREE.
Their assignment last week was to write a comparative essay. One student decided to 'write' his essay on his search for the ideal college. Clearly he didnt even READ the paper before he plagerized it, b/c his final statement was as follows:
'Now, four years later, having earned my Bachelor's Degree in Psychology, I now know that SUNY Albany was the right choice for me.'
