RE : Plagiarism
I read this letter in a recent issue of New Scientist.
PALEONTOLOGIST James Lamb used to share an office with another professor at Wake Technical Community College in Raleigh, North Carolina. One day, he recounts, a student came to complain to his colleague about her poor grade in a term paper.
The professor replied that the grade was poor because the student's paper had obviously been plagiarised. He proved the point by citing the original sources for various sentences and paragraphs she had submitted.
Sounding both injured and indignant, the student replied, "No, I didn't do that. It was the person who wrote the paper for me."
