Let me say a few words, too. I graduated from an American school, have a doctorate in computer science for several years, and have engaged in more formal academic research, so I have a say in this. First of all, if students are caught cheating, there is no doubt that they will be punished, their credits will be invalidated, expelled and so on. The school rules stipulate that they can do whatever they want, and the attitude of American schools is the same. This is a very normal thing. But what I want to say is some problems reflected in this teacher's composition. I don't agree with articles that businesses and other professions don't need to study. Learning is not more morally advanced than other fields, it is just a profession. There are speculators in business and fakes in learning (undiscovered). Successful and socially valuable enterprises often contribute more to society than most scholars. In this paper, the opposition between academics and other professions in honesty is deliberately created, and the motivation is puzzling. Especially after combining the understanding of the level of her school, it is even more incredible. To be fair, both Professor Yuan's university and Professor Yuan's own level are not high (even low). At this academic level, it is somewhat funny to repeatedly publicize the transcendental moral status of academic research. Judging from the wording of the letter, I feel that the author is pretentious and insincere. In the last paragraph, it is said that split personality is a theory of punishing the heart. People who do wrong should be criticized or punished; But split personality is a serious personal attack. There are many reasons why some students in our country develop the habit of plagiarism: primary and secondary schools in our country have not really cultivated academic writing, and "partial plagiarism" has always been regarded as "reference". The social atmosphere is more eager for quick success, including the influence of parents. Students just follow the trend. Finally, it was found that although Professor Yuan was named an American professor, she mainly wrote articles in domestic literary magazines to win the nickname, which seemed to understand why she wrote articles specifically for this matter. It really scares people to have the title of "American professor" in magazines.
