I Need Some Advice! Plagiarism

Scroll to see replies

If the style of writing was much more adult or advanced than your own usual style.. (I.E Why are you still using Text Speak...at your level of education? Tsk)... Chances are teacher will know and will either bring the whole house of cards down or will carefully but strongly suggest you do some further "work" to "Develop" the piece.

This is the usual benevolent Teacher code for "I suspect you of cheating but cant prove it yet, so do all you can to make the work your own or I'll do some digging and may turn you in".

Copying work without making any alterations at all is the very worst form of plagiarism anyway. Its just the ultimate example of foolish idolness.

Do your own piece based on the original but change everything but the outline, then resubmit as a final draft...unless this IS the final draft stage, in which case you are probbaly in big trouble.
