It did state in the Case Study that, she took note of the essay Reggie brought her and tried to warn Reggie of the consequences of Plagiarism. It was hard to read between the lines, and certain questions were brought up when I was done reading the Case Study. Here are some of them: • Did Sally mention to Reggie that he should try reaching out to the Professor regarding the missed class discussions? • What exactly did she say in her two discussions with Reggie, other than stating she has not read the book? Instead of stating she really had no assistance to provide, she could have gave him some ideas on next steps like going to the professor to gather sight on the missed class discussions. Lovelit = 4 Professor Lovelit upheld the School's policies when she found out two students had similar essays and had committed plagiarism. The disciplinary actions given to Reggie and Arnie were on point, and Professor Lovelit did not play a part in either of the student's failing grades.

Professors are not taught how to approach these situations. If sales associates in retail stores are not allowed to confront suspected shoplifters without consulting loss prevention staff and real evidence, professors should not be able to do the same with suspected plagiarizing students. Students are likely always going to find some way to cheat because there is too much importance put on grades from a very young age, and not enough on the importance of actual learning.

  • A Lawsuit Over Plagiarism in H. Bruce Millers Life is Not Measured by Grade-Point Averages

    704 Words  | 2 Pages

    In “Life is Not Measured by Grade-Point Averages” by H. Bruce Miller, Miller announces that a young lady named Gabrielle Napolitano was suing the University for accusing her of plagiarism in her paper. Napolitano hired a lawyer and built the case stating that the so called “plagiarism” was just a, quote “technical error” (Miller, par.2). Miller announces this problem but doesn’t get his true argument out until the last few paragraphs of his paper, stating that students need to stop worrying about their grades or grade-point averages and need to start enjoying the process of learning, to embrace the knowledge and use it without the fear of lack of money in the back of their minds. Miller uses strong terminology throughout his paper and keeps the paper at a fast-pace to retrieve the audiences full attention and to also keep it until the end, he also uses antonomasia to refer back to his university, making his style of writing very entertaining; however, Miller fails to accept Napolitano’s feelings about the problems at hand and makes a huge assumption that she is only concentrated on her grade-point average, fails to appeal to his audiences beliefs, and includes inappropriate fallacies in his paper. Even though Miller has weaknesses in his paper, he did a good job using the proper style in his paper to keep the reader’s attention and to get his argument that people need to enjoy learning and not just be in it for the money across.

    In “The Fish” by Elizabeth Bishop, the narrator attempts to understand the relationship between humans and nature and finds herself concluding that they are intertwined due to humans’ underlying need to take away from nature, whether through the act of poetic imagination or through the exploitation and contamination of nature. Bishop’s view of nature changes from one where it is an unknown, mysterious, and fearful presence that is antagonistic, to one that characterizes nature as being resilient when faced against harm and often victimized by people. Mary Oliver’s poem also titled “The Fish” offers a response to Bishop’s idea that people are harming nature, by providing another reason as to why people are harming nature, which is due to how people are unable to view nature as something that exists and goes beyond the purpose of serving human needs and offers a different interpretation of the relationship between man and nature. Oliver believes that nature serves as subsidence for humans, both physically and spiritually. Unlike Bishop who finds peace through understanding her role in nature’s plight and acceptance at the merging between the natural and human worlds, Oliver finds that through the literal act of consuming nature can she obtain a form of empowerment that allows her to become one with nature.

  • Cheating

    1069 Words  | 3 Pages

    The essay starts off quoting a freshman at University of Texas: “’Cheating is an answer. It might not be a good answer, but none the less it is an answer.’” (20) Clayton goes on saying that the student does not believe in cheating but was only trying to prove a point. Clayton later quotes an associate provost at Rutgers University who describes how cheating is on the rise. Clayton says, “He and others blame poor role models and lack of parental guidance for the growing acceptance of cheating in colleges.” (20) Neither Clayton nor the associate provost proves themselves to make a pathos statement such as this one. Clayton never states why the reader should trust what he has to say or what he believes. All of his information comes from quoted material; so what makes his position any more credible than the average Joe with access to the internet or a library?
