I read the case study and applied a scale from 1-4 (1 being most responsible, to 4 being least responsible) to the responsible parties in the case study. Here are my rankings:
1. Reggie
2. Arnie
3. Sally
4. Professor Lovelit
Reggie knew he was plagiarizing when he decided to use the essay from the internet. He also knew that any college or university has a code of conduct policy or an academic integrity policy. He did contact Sally, his academic support counselor, for assistance and feedback. He became frustrated when her assessment of his paper was less than positive. Arnie was wrong in two ways. Firstly, he knew of Reggie’s intent to use the online essay. Arnie should have discreetly reported the situation to the instructor. On a positive note, he did attempt to read the rest of the assignment, but couldn’t read or comprehend the material fast enough. So, Arnie panicked ,due to the impending deadline. Secondly, he had a lapse of judgement, when he decided to use the online essay, and pass it as his work. He added his own introduction and conclusion, then submitted the paper under the pretense it was his original work.

She cautioned Reggie about using someone else’s idea. Sally should have contacted the instructor, to give her a heads up on the potential plagiarizing from Reggie. Professor Lovelit did her job, after discovering Arnie and Reggie’s papers were very similar. She was also able to find the original essay on the internet. She evidently applied the school’s policy on plagiarism, as well as the policy on academic integrity. Her final decision was to give Arnie and Reggie an “F” as their final grade for the

Additionally, the Student Handbook reads, “Plagiarism may be either deliberate or unwitting; that is, it is the responsibility of a college student to know what constitutes plagiarism so that ignorance is not a legitimate defense against a charge of plagiarism.” While the demonstration of plagiarism in this instance may not have been intentional or reflective of your overall performance as a student, it was ostensibly present, and the instructor awarded a grade on the essay and for the class that was consistent with both the policies of the course and the institution.
He only read 25 out of 300 pages in the book and missed most of the class discussion due to the games he had to attend. He also had no time to make an essay, so he solves the problem by plagiarizing his essay. He used most of his time prioritizing his athletic activities first rather than focusing both his academic and athletic activities. What he could have done to manage his time effectively is to establish a structured schedule. This way he could indicate when he has to go to class, when to attend the games and when he can read the book. If he had used his have his time wisely then maybe he could have finished the book and wrote his own essay.
The reporting party (RP) stated on Friday October 4 the director Sandra Carroll was observed pulling 17 year old Andrea out of the bathroom by her hair. Later the same day the director slapped Andrea so hard that she fell to the floor. The RP stated after a few hours Andrea began to have seizures. According to the RP Sandra was observed slapping and yelling at resident Brianna. The RP stated when the director is having a bad day or not getting along with her husband she takes it out on the children and the staff persons. The RP stated child Andrea has flea bites to her body (parts not mentioned) and that fleas were observed in the facility. The RP stated the administrator displays her frustrations by hitting and yelling at 12 year old Jacob.

Due to the growing power of the internet, plagiarism has become a pressing problem in academics. Katrina’s essay was indeed plagiarized. This is because she failed to cite any information, she used ideas that were paraphrased, but she did give credit to the original author, and she used the same phrasing and facts from the original text. Katrina’s essay was plagiarized because she included exact information from a text without giving proper credit.
The second story the author discusses is starkly different from that of the Anorexia paper, and makes an example of the type of trouble plagiarism can cause in an institution and those involved in it. In this instance, a male student submits a paper discussing the assigned topic in such a way that triggers the suspicions of the professor. Murphy eventually discovers the true origin of the paper, only to find the student had gone so far as to cut out the evidence from the book. Many denials and meetings later he was “Within the week . . . suspended from the University.” (900). An academic career over, and a weakening of a professors already tenuous ability to trust in his students, were all this case resulted in. Academic dishonesty, plagiarism, wastes the time of everyone involved. It wastes the time of the student because they aren’t learning anything. It wastes the time of the professor who has to search for the original sources of the plagiarized works. And it wastes the time of the committee formed to decide the fate of the student. The author mentions several times his distaste for having to search: “Though I should not have had time to play detective, I made room among all the duties of my life to pursue this student.” (900). Murphy was disappointed in his own inability to drop the case, needing to follow it to it’s conclusion despite his busy
3. How could Principal O’Rourke have better handled the reference calls he received regarding Randolph Agam?
Trying to prevent students from cheating Dorff created slightly different tests for the same course he taught twice. Even with Dorff’s efforts to prevent cheating, the students passed the tests answers from the earlier course on to the latter course failing to realize the test was different. By passing false answers it shows the students desperation and willingness to cheat. Dorff also believes that student don’t know what “constitutes cheating”. In Dorff’s article, he accused a student of plagiarizing. The student’s denied plagiarizing replying that “he would never cut and paste” because he retyped the document. This shows how many students do not know how to credit other peoples work and students are not instructed on how to properly use other people’s material. Dorff shows examples of the lengths or shortcuts students are willing to take in order to
I would then give his teacher, Professor Lovelit, a two because it is the teacher's responsibility to make sure the students are fully informed of plagiarism and the consequences. It is also the teachers' duty to be there to help with assignments or questions the student has.
He recalls of one of his students whom he knows was doomed when he says “From the beginning of our association vis-à-vis the research paper, I knew that there would be trouble with Ms. L”. He goes on to explain her short comings from not knowing how to use a computer, which is very much needed in order do a research paper to her trying to pick her own research paper. When she finally picks her topic he knew it wasn’t correct but he still let her write it. He knows that she would fail. After grading it and tell her she got an “F” he felt bad.
Reggie violated one of the standards prohibiting any form of plagiarism pursuant to the University Code of Integrity by turning in someone else’s work. Not only did Reggie turn in someone else’s work, but she incited Arnie to do the same advising her to use the essay partially. Arnie and Reggie exposed themselves to having been seen as irresponsible students whose tendency to cheat won over their desire to get a proper
Self-plagiarism occurs when an author reuses past works as new, without letting the reader know that the material has been previously used. Dr. Robin Hoffmann was faced with a situation of self-plagiarism when a student handed in one paper for two separate Administration of Justice (ADJ) courses. Although Dr. Hoffmann struggled to determine a course of action, the solution is clear: the student should not have been punished.
These students were taught a life lesson, something that they will never do again. Being taught, the correct way, at a young age will solve many of the problems that we have today. Becoming aware of the consequences that this could lead to would be worth the extra time citing a document, or writing your own paper. Taking someone’s words or writing could lead to loss of job/school, fines, and so much more. To avoid these problems, a simple citation will help anyone become aware that you did give credit to the author. Jim Carnett published an article in the Los Angeles Times stating that he had tried to submit a column to an editor but they sent it back because it contained plagiarised material. Carnett said, “I lifted a portion of one of my columns and inserted it in the Daily Pilot piece without attribution.” He hadn’t cited his own work and now what he did was plagiarism. To Carnett, this was a total accident, but this shows that you should cite any information that you use. Although there are arguments that there is no such thing as plagiarism, “If a novelist uses a non-fiction book for research, how is that stealing? Non-fiction promises facts, there is no copyright in facts, ergo no stealing…” (Independent.co.uk) it is always best to give credit to the source that you received the information from; thus not having a chance of plagiarism.
The reason behind this research essay was because the writer was shocked being accused for plagiarizing when he/she didn’t do it. It was when the writer wrote a paper using high level of vocabulary words like” The antitranscendentalist nature of Herman Melville.” The teacher was alarmed, undermined, and assumed the writer’s capability of knowledge concludes accusation for plagiarism. As a result, the writer made an adjustment to come up with a different ways of writing paper. The writer stated that “I stared to writing at lower level than I was capable of.”This is what made the student to do research on” Plagiarism
