    So if there's 10%, you have to start over

    And if its HIGHER, than you dont get credit for it.

    If you have to start over, you dont get credit for it, right? Me confuzed
    No actually, you have another day to re-write your paper. You can still save your grade if it's 10-25%, after that you don't get another chance. The thing about it is... we have access to the checker, so we can check it to see before we turn it in, there really isn't a reason for it to be above 10%. But people tend to use a lot of quotes and it counts those... which is why they're a little lax on it. They want quotes, but they don't want your entire paper to be someone else's thoughts. People don't run it through the checker, turn it in, and it's over 10% quotes.... you have to re-write it.

    Makes perfect sense, actually.

    Let the person who writes it, do it himself, cause if he turns it in and its still 10%? He cant really blame anyone else but himself, right?

    Yeah, I like that system.

    I had a teacher last year who claimed that half of a paper I wrote in class was plagiarized.

    Same here, I was infractioned in school for copying and pasting my paper from someone else, and I was like WTF do you know!?

    I was so friggin annoyed, I was in 7th grade, and I told my parents that I had been wrongly accused. My dad got furious cause he had helped me with that paper himself.

    He threw an absolute fit about me not getting credit AND getting an infraction on my final education papers. They realized that if my dad was that put off there was probably something about it.

    It was of course my English teacher. As some of you know Im from Denmark, and my english teacher was danish who fancied herself as a professional english speaker cause she had lived in England for 4 months.

    She had atleast 3 grammar mistakes in every sentence she spoke or wrote, and I got so fed up that I began correcting her mistakes.

    She obviously didnt like that a student was infact BETTER at english than she was, so I was singled out as the "Most get revenge nao" student.

    I knew someone who didn't pay to get their essay done for them. Oh nooo. we were tasked with writing a story of sdomesort. They went online, found an interesting short story and then copied and pasted. the WHOLE thing. It got read out in class because it was that good. The teacher (who was a bit of a ditz) was really, really impressed. She went on to show it to other teachers. These teachers knew how crap this kid was and searched for plagiarism. he got BUSTED.

    I've never copied/pasted, though i've collabarated with friends to get information and answers. But 'cos i write it all in my own words, i get away with it XD

    Cheers Jango. XD

    This might be completely off topic but its a hilarious story that my mother in law told one day XD

    Her class had been preparing for a HUGE test in psychology, and they got like a 24 pages long test filled with high end questions regarding psychology and the way the human brain works.

    BUT, the first question in the entire test was "Why?"

    Everyone filled out the HUGE long group of answer lines below it, while my mother in law simply replied "Because", and left the rest blank.

    She was the only one who got an A, the rest spent the whole 2 hours filling it out but got a bad grade cause they failed the meaning of the test XD
