The Chinese translation of the plagiarism conference should be' anti-plagiarism/plagiarism conference'. In the international academic field, plagiarism is an absolute event, so it is not surprising that such conferences are held twice a year in Britain, and the number of participants in each conference is increasing.
It's the end of June, and the exams in British universities are drawing to a close. The papers of foreign students range from one or two thousand words to five or six thousand words, which should have been handed over to the tutor. In less than a week, I have heard more than five friends and classmates tell me all kinds of stories about plagiarism.
Story 1: A university thinks that a foreign student's English level can't write standard English usage in the papers handed in, and asks the student to explain. In response to the explanation given by students that "I found an expert to revise English grammar and words", the school requires students to submit evidence such as letters or emails with experts.
Story 2: Several students form a support group to discuss obscure words in the thesis proposition, and email their own parts to share, inspire and interact with each other. As a result, one of them quoted the passage of the other intact, and both of them were invited to the professor's office to clarify the truth.
Story 3: In the hands-on classroom work, the students used a piece of someone's music in their works. Because the source of this song was not explained, the students were called to the tutor's office to explain the ideas and ideas of this song and even the whole work, where to quote whose creation and so on.
British universities attach great importance to students' originality. In the academic field, your idea can be simple, imperfect, even rough, and can't stand scrutiny, but it must be your own, not what you saw from others, but what you insist is your own. Once a student is found to be suspected of plagiarism, the consequences are unimaginable. From rewriting papers to expulsion from school.
When my friends and classmates told me these stories, they also asked my opinion, fearing that there would be problems in graduation. I suggest that you must calm down-if you are right, then explain your reasons one by one; Don't be like a frightened rabbit, just like Nuo Nuo, who is not guilty, but seems to be convicted. Let's shorten the momentum by three points first. Put facts and reason. Such an attitude will work everywhere and there will be no problem.
What if you are really wronged? I think everyone should dare to appeal, because studying in Britain is not only the students' own energy and time, but also the efforts and expectations of their families. Don't give up because you are afraid of trouble.
