Recently, a female student of the Department of Foreign Languages in Tsinghua University was regarded as excellent because she mentioned in her thesis report that she was engaged in scientific research and studying data structures, and questioned that she had copied science and engineering students. Today (65438+30 February), Tsinghua University National College Students' Cultural Quality Education Base responded that when correcting the thesis report, the teaching assistant subjectively made inappropriate comments on a classmate's homework, and the class teacher approved it without comprehensive verification, which violated the relevant teaching regulations of the school. After verification, the Academic Affairs Office determined that the assignment was true and effective, and communicated with the classmate to apologize and get an understanding.
An excellent paper causes contradictions between students and schools, and plagiarism is indeed a common problem in academic circles. But for undergraduates, what exactly is a thesis? Can't undergraduates write good papers? In fact, it is impossible for undergraduates to write a level paper in the whole university, which has indeed become the "* * * knowledge" of many teachers and students. "Now undergraduate thesis is mostly a summary article. Don't expect them to be innovative. As long as the format is standardized, it will be justified. Academic value? Basically nothing. " Professor Wang Zhenfu from South China Agricultural University said. As for the students' own views? This is also the case. "What paper to write again? Hand it in tomorrow and get it tonight! " Li Ming, a student majoring in business administration, skillfully "Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V" (computer shortcut keys of "copy" and "paste"), packed and changed his face. In less than an hour, a thick stack of "papers" jumped out of the printer and can be handed in tomorrow.
The above-mentioned "* * * knowledge" of teachers and students seems to be the main reason why the paper is considered plagiarism because it is too excellent. The occurrence of this incident tells us to change our mentality.
In short, although plagiarism can be seen everywhere, we can't take an excellent paper for granted, which is unfair to excellent people.
