Plagiarism :mad:

[sojourner]

Got my evidence through the post. I am very much guilty, and it was a shit essay. I am probably guilty of it in my other essay on that module as well.

Been to the independent advice unit - the best I can hope for is a zero for that module. Just got to write a statement and be all apologetic and shit.

*sigh*

Eh? I thought you had referenced everything??

 

[Dandred]

What did they get you for then?

 

[Lo Siento.]

how do you plagiarise and forget? then come on all outraged. Twat.

Dude, I hope you're writing a pm to me as we speak ....

*taps foot impatiently*

(((((dilli)))))

Uncalled for

Agreed.

When you know all the evidence, then you can make twattish statements like that.

oh god

i am so sorry to hear that. what did you do and what's the implication for your degree?

 

[Lo Siento.]

Uncalled for

because stoods are so overworked there's a justification for cheating?

Let's all be sensitive to the person too lazy to do their own fucking work.

Do you know what was in his letter?

No. You don't. So stop with the suppositions of evilness on a grand scale and stop being an idiot. Not nice, not fair, and you won't get far doing it.

 

[sojourner]

because stoods are so overworked there's a justification for cheating?

No, because a) you don't know what happened yet so calling him a twat is a tad previous and judgemental, to say the least, and b) he's an intelligent committed student, with no reason to plagiarise at all - he's probably fucking mortified by this.

I'd wager it was accidental

 

[Chairman Meow]

How can you not know if you've plagiarised?

Absolutely, to every single word of this.

How?

 

[baldrick]

Just ignore the twat

 

[Vintage Paw]

How can you not know if you've plagiarised?

Well he didn't, so I suppose it's perfectly possible.

 

[sojourner]

How can you not know if you've plagiarised?

Missing off a reference? Repeating certain phrases that you've unconsciously memorised?

i'm usually completely down on plagiarists, but I'm convinced that Dillinger is not the type of person to do it deliberately

I'd wager it was accidental

a) possibly, but he just admitted he did it b) he's obviously not, otherwise he wouldn't need to cheat. c) no-one 'accidentally' plagiarises, you cheat, end of.

fuck off

a) he didn't have to - the fact that he has, given his anger at the start of the thread, conveys his bewilderment

b) I've met and talked to the guy, I know he is

c) It's entirely possible. But let's see what he has to say first, eh?

 

[baldrick]

me too

Dilli - if you can bear it, can you let us know what happened? Am also studying atm and want to be sure that any slapdash essays aren't gonna get me in trouble too.

How long ago did you submit the assignments?

 

[Lo Siento.]

a) he didn't have to - the fact that he has, given his anger at the start of the thread, conveys his bewilderment

b) I've met and talked to the guy, I know he is

c) It's entirely possible. But let's see what he has to say first, eh?

b) not according to the ze evidence!

c) never come across anyone accidentally plagiarising. Lots of cheats in denial. But no accidents. How do you reproduce significant amounts of someone else's work without noticing?

 

[Vintage Paw]

I was sat next to him yesterday when he received the email he posted in the OP. I can tell you very clearly, he had absolutely no idea what the plagiarism he was accused of might entail. He was shocked beyond belief.

So yeah, I'd say it is definitely possible for someone to not know they plagiarised. Because he didn't.

He would never do something like that knowingly.

Like I said, you don't know what's happened yet

 

[Lo Siento.]

awwwwww, poor thing!

 

[Vintage Paw]

awwwwww, poor thing!

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, fuck off.

 

[baldrick]

awwwwww, poor thing!

Your compassion positively oozes from your posts.

Fuckwit.

 

[Lo Siento.]

Like I said, you don't know what's happened yet

well, let's accept the absolute best scenario. So, he's just so lazy and his attitude to his work is so poor, that he absent-mindedly passed off someone's work as he own (or maybe, reproduced his own work for a 2nd time, whatever), failed to check it, then just sort of forgot it.

For what possible reason would he deserve sympathy?

 

[marshall]

yes, bit too much gloating from lo siento (de nada), but the OP did say he was 'very much guilty'...so...

 

[sojourner]

I think I'm being very well behaved by not unleashing my own torrent of swearing, but I'm thinking Lo Siento is just trolling so therefore not worthy of a good tongue lashing

Not gonna bother repeating myself
