<p>Is it considered plagiarism if one writes an essay on a completely different topic with completely different points than another person but loosely resembles the structure of that person's essay from a few years ago?</p>
<p>well there is paragraph plagiarism but i dont think thats the case here…because it wouldnt be if it was a completely different topics. There is a fine line between mimicking and copying and I dont think you crossed a line here</p>
<p>i dont know about structure. but what is considered plagiarism is to reuse the way someone says something without giving credit. to my knowledge borrowing essay structure isnt plagiarism. “oh, you had 5 paragraphs in yours too? plagiarism!!!”</p>
<p>No .</p>
