<p>This would be for a first-time offense in Freshman English class, but essay was VERY plagiarized -95% of it actually. Just a theoretical situation of course lol. Aside from failing the class, what should that person expect?</p>
<p>Depends on the school. If there's an honor code, probably expulsion. If the person was to stay in, expect to have to work a lot harder to gain trust and respect - especially since they're only a freshman and have yet to show who they really are.</p>
<p>Usually at the least you get a 0 on the assignment. Some profs give you a 0 or F for the class too. Not sure they'd expel on the first offense, but like the guy above me said it depends on the school. Maybe probation or something? Or maybe you couldn't repeat the class you'd fail?</p>
<p>at my school its expulsion</p>
<p>Here, it's first offense = automatic F in class and it goes on your record. 2nd offense = expulsion.</p>
<p>hey, i'm a girl!
for real though, in hs you would get away with it - at my school you'd just get a 0 on the assignment. that's not a good way to start off a college course though.</p>
<p>What if you write something that are similar to online work but you have no idea that you it did, in other words you don't know that you are copying.?
Seriously, there are billion of peoplein the words, So there must be some people that wrrite two or three simliar sentences so what is the big deal.</p>
<p>It won't be the exact same sentence.</p>
<p>Ln17, if I'm not mistaken, one of your choices is UCSD. Just a heads up, first plagiarism is an automatic noted F (it gets marked as F, plagiarism on the transcript) and the professor can petition to expel you. If you cheat in a class for your major, you can be kicked out of the major. 2nd time, you're pretty much done for.</p>
<p>:)</p>
<p>don't get me wrong, I have no intention of cheating but I was wondering if anyone got an F or expelled that they did not deserved.
I also have another question, Is an English Composition at a community college count as a Humanity 1 at UCSD. What if I want to take Engl.1A at RCC to exempt me from the entry level writing but want to take the Human.1, would they let me do that or do they make me take Hum.2!!!!thanks!!!!</p>
<p>"Just a theoretical situation of course lol. Aside from failing the class, what should that person expect?"</p>
<p>LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL at that wording. A dead give-away, in my opinion. Expect the 0 and a rescinded admission at your college.</p>
<p>No worries, just thought you'd be interested in knowing what the punishment here is.</p>
<p>That said, typically, people won't be failed or punished for something they didn't do. There is an appeals process, but for the most part, it doesn't even come to that (either the student knows s/he cheated or there's a genuine reason for the misunderstanding which comes to light).</p>
<p>:)</p>
<p>At UVA, you'd be kicked out, no question.</p>
<p>My school: You get to go to this seminar about plagiarism. You fail the class. People yell at you. But I don't think you get kicked out for the first time offense.</p>
<p>Dartmouth- 3 term suspension.</p>
<p>expulsion at W&L</p>
<p>and i wouldnt have it any other way</p>
<p>It is too easy to get past turnitin.com if you can't you should consider yourself a moron. Turnitin.com detects 5 consecutive words in the same exact order as any other source online or in any published work. When plagiarizing you need only to change 1 word out of 4 or 5 and you'll be safe.</p>
<p>Academic Probation first time, usually expulsion second time, depending on the circumstances (especially if you're a freshman)
They'd probably make you redo the paper or give you a zero on it or the class.</p>
<p>At least that's how it works in my school.</p>
<p>Nice, Pulp Fiction is a great movie. But totally unappropriate...</p>
