Chill,David, it's just one sentence. It's not the end of the world.

doesn't have to be exact, teachers get off on this stuff...i'm telling you, a lot them are so nerdy and sheltered b/c all they did wasworry about how many degrees they had that they look to take it out on students who actually live their lifeOriginally Posted by youngin33
Dude is overreacting a little since it's one sentence but colleges and universities do take plagiarism very seriously. If I get a source, I rarely will ever quote it directly since I hate citing it in the paper. I like simply putting what was said in the source into my own words and just citing the article later in a separate section.
The professor threw you a bit of a bone since you were guilty but it was only one sentence. I don't understand people who will copy and paste a whole source into their paper and think they are going to get away with that. Now that's dumb and should not be taken lightly.
ill take your advice but don't look at 10 points being very little. I know for sure that is a letter grade.Originally Posted by moe200069
your professor seems like a caring person. ucberkeley professors didn't give a damn about student performance in their classes because they had tenure. if 50% failed their class, they couldn't care less. most tenured professors' swag > insert your favorite rapper...it's unfair how they treat their studentsOriginally Posted by aubstuh86
your prof sounds like an *#+#+@% a cool person
but congrats to you for only getting 10 points docked off. i would have let out a big sigh of relief. don't be too down on yourself, you didn't insert the sentence intentionally. as for going to your professor right away to apologize, i would hold off on that and wait until after the final to go to their office hours and apologize/thank them in person for being flexible and understanding in your situation.
although I think your professor is a total D bag, just take the L and move on, he technically could have kicked you out of school w/o questionOriginally Posted by davidisgodly
