Yeah I study computer science, and we usually can't even copy any old code we've written before unless we ask for permission -_-

its a valid point by your professor. you did commit plagiarism---but you really aren't published, so i guess you get off on a technicality? But hope things go your way. And yes, you shouldn't reuse old stuff without proper citations.

.. oh right, you got slapped for taking from your own article? Missed that on the first readthrough.
Way to be a retard, myself.

what an awkward thing to have happen. ahaha!
|
lol.
prof, I vote he still fails big time. Maybe someone else wrote the article and he got in contact with him and guy 2 is covering for your student. Don't be a sap!

Professors are getting crafty these days.

Why didn't you just bump the old thread instead of creating a new one?

First "Oh, god, does this person really think we wanna read what they're paying their professor to read?" and second "Doesn't this person know if their Professor googles anything in the paper it'll look like plagiarism and be a hassle?"
I'm not sure if it's even legal. I think there's some bullshit rule that means once you hand it into a professor, it's the school technically has rights to it and you have to get permission from them to use it. Which is of course absurd but hey... Well there's no buts, it's just absurd.
You only have to cite your own work if its been published, due to the fact that im pretty sure the journal you submit it to ends up owning the paper. If you sign a contract. And then you'd be fully aware just how many rights you gave up. If you just sell it to a journal and only give them rights to publish it in a particular place at a particular time (rather than exclusive rights) then you still have full rights to your work. Reusing your own work for university is actually against school rules though (you can't hand in the same essay to more than one professor). That's not anything to do with legality though. ..... That might actually make more sense than what I said in my second paragraph above.

That makes no sense. I mean if I ask you to solve the same problem twice, you will probably solve it the same way (or extremely similarly) both times, so if I let you copy it or not the end result should be two pieces of code that are very similar. But I don't really know anything about computers, so w/e.

In senior year of high school, due to certain complications I wasn't able to continue onto the AP english courses from my junior year of honors, so I was placed into the "normal" english curriculum. For our first paper I wrote on the effects and aftermath of peak oil, and to this day it's one of the better papers I've ever written.
My teacher called me in saying she had a feeling I had plagiarized some of it, especially citing my usage of the word "denouement" (which I thought everyone learned in freshman year of high school), saying that I couldn't possibly know the meaning of this word.

I googled "Clarkdale will be separated into two lines" and TL came up lol
To get caught for plagiarism of your own work hahaha

Hello, professor. None of what you teach actually matters, just give him an A and move on. Take your mean-spirited, petty wife out to dinner. How does that sound?

She probably had to look it up for herself, plated.rawr already showed us you don't need to be a genius to teach.
