I was just struck speechless. Now I've gotten over it and I've been yelling out variations of "For the love of Fucking Christ" for the past few minutes now.
One of the girls who landed in summer school due to plagiarism... plagiarized.
Yes, she plagiarized her definition essay.
Now, it's much better than her previous counts of plagiarism. She only copied three sentences in a two-page essay and she surrounded them with a lot of her own work. (Three sentences I can find online-- there are at least two other sentences that I suspect.)
However, she has no excuse now. NONE. She failed because of plagiarism, she's in summer school because of plagiarism, and she's been educated on plagiarism in summer school AND quizzed on it. There is no way she didn't know this was wrong and there's no way she accidentally wrote the exact same sentences that turned up on these websites.
I am beyond pissed. I am possessed of a cold fury.
She fails summer school. SHE FAILS SO HARD.
Edit: Of course, adding up her missed assignments and absences, ignoring the plagiarism, she fails summer school anyway.
