<p>Assuming ND is Notre Dame...</p>
<p>5) A student may not turn in the same work for two or more different courses he or she is taking in an academic term unless each professor involved has authorized students to do so in advance. </p>
<p>6) Students may not submit for one course any work that has been used to fulfill the requirements of another course previously taken at this or any other school without obtaining permission of the current professor in advance.</p>
<p>My teacher told us in college to not use the same paper for two different classes. Like someone else stated, she said colleges will consider it plagerism and you can only use it if you get permission from your professor... but even then you have to cite it. I find that all completely stupid... but yeah.</p>
<p>Son used his own slides from a powerpoint presentation from a previous class in a project this term--got permission from prof to use them and needed to cite "source".</p>
<p>Another point to bring up is that the OP never got credit for the paper (dropped the class). Therefore, it, in my opinion, would not fall under the ethical/moral issues that it would have otherwise (even if they are invalid to begin with).</p>
<p>still get approval, however</p>
<p>I didn't turn in the exact same paper but I did use points from the 1st paper on my 2nd paper... and almost the same conclusion because I really suck at writing conclusions (my friend helped me write the conclusion in the first place. haha)</p>

Plagerism? How can that be when you're reusing YOUR OWN work? <em>shakes head</em></p>
<p>Can you imagine someone saying, "I got in trouble because I copied off of myself?"

lol, there was a thread with that problem a couple monthes ago.</p>
<p>I go to Columbia University and my Sociology professor said, to paraphrase, "If you ever want to use [the paper you've just handed in] again, come see me and I'll let you know if there's anything I think you should add." Never once did she mention any sort of plagerism. In fact, she encouraged our reusing the papers...</p>

<p>...I hope you understand that in ascertaining the rightness of reusing a paper depends not only on consulting the honor code, but also consulting the professor of the course for which you intend to reuse that paper – not the paper to whom you handed the original paper.</p>
<p>So regardless of your professor's statement, the policy could still stand with every other professor at Columbia. Also, I wouldn't expect all professors to be up-to-date with the honor code – I know that sounds absurd, but it is true. For higher level courses, plagiarism is simply assumed to be out of the question given the esoteric nature of paper topics and the length of papers required, as well as the assumed intellectual maturity of students. Why should professors who teach these courses be concerned with a code that students in such courses wouldn't even think of breaking?</p>
<p>Why do they make you write papers? To LEARN something. </p>
<p>Do you learn as much by reusing a paper? NO. </p>
<p>It will catch up with you eventually.</p>
<p>Just don't get caught...it's really not that hard</p>
