Plagiarism? Huh?
One of my students tried to hand in a late essay and begged me to read it. After scanning through it, I realized I needed a psychology degree to translate it.
“You sure you wrote this Rodrigo?"
"Oh absolutely teacher”
2 minutes of looking through the internet I found the exact text on the first hit with google (really dude?) of which I showed my ‘diligent’ student.
“Kinda looks like you copied and pasted buddy”
“Ya so what’s the problem?”
I have learned that plagiarism doesn’t exist in Peru and if I want a decent piece of writing, it’s gotta be in class. When I explain that it’s illegal in the States the unanimous response is, “Who cares? We’re in Peru”.
