<p>I just checked my behavior, and i saw a "cheating" from plagiarism in Bible class. Wow i thought it was research and even put my resources but they said it was expressing your opinion in 2 pages. So, is my behavior going to send to the college because i dont want to argue with teachers unless the behavior is sent</p>
<p>Think about this for a minute. How could a bunch of strangers on the internet know this answer?</p>
<p>You need to talk to somebody at your school: a guidance counselor, or college-placement person, or principal or headmaster. One of these people will know what the school will report when you apply to colleges, and probably also have some idea whether it will look like a serious black mark, or simply an isolated indiscretion in the record of someone who’s otherwise a pretty solid citizen.</p>
<p>Academic dishonesty is not a behavior problem as colleges see it, it’s a serious charge. Most schools will disclose it, but as said above, get a direct answer from your school.</p>
<p>Definitely talk to a guidance counselor/principal Some schools toss you without warning for cheating, it’s not a good thing.</p>
<p>so…you have been completely unaware of having been accused of plagiarizing in one of your classes ? It’s news to you? Or are you just now learning that it is on your transcript?</p>
<p>it was three months ago and i just saw it through the renweb page which i can see my grades online. i clicked behavior page and it appeared as cheating with complete plagiarism. i feel so bad because i was actually thinking it was more like research and i even put resources at the bottom which is good thing in my country. so i was surprised</p>
<p>You need to meet with the teacher to discuss the cheating designation first. It sounds like you were hoping this would go away, and it won’t without talking about it.</p>
<p>Citing your sources is a good thing in every country. Hard to see how this is plagiarizing rather than the more usual ‘failure to follow instructions’ for which the consequences should be a poor grade with or without the option to make it up, depending on the teacher’s philosophy. To plagiarize, you have to take someone else’s work and claim it was your own. (Or in rarer cases - take you own work and resubmit it for another purpose - yes, that too…)</p>
<p>The time to have discussed this was with the teacher immediately after you got that mark. Or perhaps you did, but didn’t follow up because you didn’t know it was on your record? In any case, now is the time to start talking - to the teacher if you haven’t already. To the principal. And to your parents who may need to get involved here. </p>
<p>Not following directions is not the same thing as academic dishonesty and the latter is a very serious charge - even if it doesn’t get sent to colleges.</p>
<p>i met counselor and the bible teacher who gave me 0 putting “cheating - plagiarism” in my behavior page on renweb (online school report site, checking homeworks and grades). bible teacher said he won’t delete the record on renweb even though he can give grades if i redo the bible project. i asked him that i dont want it to be in the record and heard that the record won’t be sent to the college. i then asked counselor if this is true and also if there’s another way to delete that because i just dont want to feel depressed. She said there’s no way to delete it and she said it is just a record on renweb which means it won’t be sent to the college. I am not sure if it is true or if it is just teacher saying to appease me.</p>
<p>Poposa, if the teacher wanted to appease you, he’d change the entry in the internal record. If he and the counselor say it’s for internal purposes only, and that it’s not information that goes to colleges, you can believe them.</p>
<p>I think it’s safe for you to stop worrying about this. But if you simply can’t stop worrying, then you can politely “double-check” with the guidance counselor early in the fall of the year you’ll be applying to colleges. (Obviously, you won’t really be double-checking; you’ll be reminding the counselor of the conversation that you and she and the Bible teacher all had this spring. But pretending to double-check–pretending you want to make sure *you *remember the episode the right way–is a little more deferential than reminding all those adults of what they said.)</p>
