Thank you.
My essay was seen by my teacher in September and October 2015. I have an email exchange where I am saying that I am using internet sources, which I am not only copying but doing vocabulary and spelling research on. At no point was I informed it constituted plagiarism. None of my references were in quote marks.
Then, my controlled assessment was marked in by another teacher in October- November 2015. Not mention was made about plagiarism. I asked for my Controlled Assessment to be moderated in December 2015. My marks were increased by another teacher in April 2016. Yet, again no mention of plagiarism.
Finally, end of April beginning of May 2016, my controlled assessments were called in by AQA. I was excited about it because I believed I did some great search for Of Mice And Men controlled assessment. I had all my research in a folder.
Only when AQA sent their report to my college was the plagiarism mentioned, resulting in my marks being lost (from 24/30 to 0/30).
I am not appealing for my marks to be reinstated. I am appealing for my college to take some responsibilities for what happened. And to prevent it from happening in the future.
