I Got Your Education Right Here

Lauren

I may be a bad person for finding this hilariously funny, but the poetic justice of this one is too beautiful to ignore.

Oh, Schadenfreude. Via Bitch Ph.D. comes a digital smack-down in which a young woman gets the kind of education she definitely wasn’t looking for. A young woman on the Dean’s List of a Midwestern college contacts this author to write a paper for her on Hinduism. What she didn’t know is that she was talking to a man with an English degree that he worked for himself.

Things Ms. Plagiarism Learned In College:
· Never give your name to a stranger on the internet.
· Do your own work.
· If you decide to lift a paper off the internet, proofread. Look for things like “I made a doody,” and, “Your actions in each lifetime affect your karma, and if a Shudra watches dharma and greg, it will have a positive effect on his karma, perhaps elevating him into a class in which she will be allowed to study the Vedas and progress along its spiritual path.”
· Getting an F you deserve is far more respectable than an A you don’t.
· It is best to honor that part of your classroom syllabus and university policy that says it will punish plagiarism to its greatest extent. You may very well get called out.

  2. I had a student once literally re-print an essay from the Internet and WHITE OUT the name at the top, writing her own name over it. I swear to the GODESS this is true. I could not believe it. It took me about 2.4 seconds to google the paper. And then she and her friend (who also plagiarized, but at least had the sense to copy & paste and type her own name) actually looked SURPRISED when they didn’t get their graded papers back with the whole class, shooting each other “high eyebrow” uncomfy smiles the rest of class.

    I also had a little twerp write me a smart assed email about how he had copied one of the essays I have posted on my academic website and ideas were free and there was nothing I could do about it. Well, since he had the dumbass-ness to put his real name on the email, I googled his name, found his online resume, found out where he went to college, and wrote to his Liberal Arts dean. I know. It was petty of me. 🙂

    But dammit– write your own stupid paper!!!! Your teacher will honestly know when you cheat. And if you’re going to cheat, at least don’t be a total dumbass about it. (Realize, however, that your karma WILL catch up to you at some point in your life.)
