Seeing how actual plagiarisation is a real problem, this is ridiculous.
 
Just goes to confirm how important it is that common sense is used at both ends of an automatized process. Both in specifying it, programming it, and then later in interpreting the results.

This sounds like someone just saying "computer says CHEAT" without putting any actual thought into the consideration.

Shoot them.
 
Yeah, I remember part of our university plagiarism policy was that you couldn't include more than a certain percentage of non-original material, even if properly attributed. Sounds a bit harsh to boot someone over a single essay, though. A warning or explanation would be good enough.
 
And we are tied for FIRST PLACE!!! OH YA!!!

That seems odd, I can see using the computer as a first pass, then have a human confirm or deny
 
I can understand refusing credit or awarding a bad grade to a paper that overused quotes from other sources. But it's not dishonest if they are sourced properly and not misleadingly cited. Expulsion is a remedy for dishonesty, not mere laziness. Based on the facts described here, what this student did may have been very lazy, but it wasn't dishonest.

My thoughts exactly.

And good night from China (although if I'm not mistaken, it's morning in the US now ... and afternoon in Europe)
 
We had a class in an Advent Christian Church today. I like the look, reminds me a lot of the church in Simpsons, looks quite modern :D

Anyway, class itself was nice. Dumbass from the mosque class didn't show up, so there were no rude questions.

When asked about church's opinion on LGBT people, pastor said gays can only reach salvation if they "fix their problems" aka become hetero :facepalm:

Overall I'd still rate them above Orthodox Church and Islam, solely for being relatively modern.

Wish I wasn't sick when there was a class in a synagogue, that would've been fun too.
