Definite don’ts

“Don’t plagiarize. Express your own thoughts in your own words…. Note, too, that simply changing a few words here and there, or changing the order of a few words in a sentence or paragraph, is still plagiarism.

Plagiarism detection software, detect the identical or similar content, whether it’s a sentence, paragraph or idea. Plagiarism checking also shows the percentage of duplicate content and original content.

Plagiarism is presenting someone else’s work or ideas as your own, with or without their consent, by incorporating it into your work without full acknowledgement. All published and unpublished material, whether in manuscript, printed or electronic form, is covered under this definition.

8. Some professors might only read the essays on final exams for students in between letter grades. If the final is a paper instead of an exam, we really only extensively grade the ones from students on the cusp from one letter grade to another.

Of course they like them. Everyone likes less work. That does not mean professors don’t like struggling students. If you want help and you ask politely and show you are willing to work, professors have respect for that.

If written, they will actually count them, looking for repetition. If submitted electronically, they can, among other things look at the properties of the essay, or they can simply highlight the whole document, which will also give you the number of words.

Only if they have access to your records as a student, which they probably won’t unless they are your academic advisor. I’m not sure why a professor would care how old you are. Either you’re in the usual age range or you’re not. In any case, the age of any given student is not particularly interesting to faculty.

Faculty do not gossip about students in the way students do about each other – I.e. about social issues, who is dating whom, etc. it just is not important at all to our lives. What we do sometimes do is ask other faculty if a person has been a problem or possibly a very good student.
