Re: Beat: I caught one of my students plagiarizing
I always hear people taking [censored] straking out of wiki for their papers and getting caught, but i always imagined it was just made up to scare you and no one would be actually that dumb to copy wiki :/

Re: Beat: I caught one of my students plagiarizing
I've been teaching undergrad psych courses while in grad school. My second semester, this guy turns in his final paper, and it's a different writing style than I was used to from him. I google a couple sentences - copied verbatim from some paper-writing "help" site. Googled further and the buy-a-paper site had taken the paper from a psychologist's personal page describing their consulting services.
I spent a few hours documenting every sentence that was plagiarized, emailed the kid saying we have to talk about his paper, and he doesn't even try to defend himself, just starts giving excuses. Next day he comes into my office and starts telling me how his mom's a psychologist and is going to be so disappointed with him, his dad just had a heart attack and now might have another, and he's on academic probation already, and if he fails this paper he'll be kicked out of school, blah blah blah. My policy in the syllabus was plagiarism gets a zero for that assignment and a report to the dean's office, and that's what I did. I don't know what happened to him after the semester ended. Anyway, stick to your guns, OP. You can't really go back on your 80% policy, but next semester make it harsher.
