plagiarism

They thought they'd just pop on in and go about stealing some poetry. They must be especially challenged when it comes to writing poetry if this is how they thought they'd be able to get it done. 

This wasn't petty at all. We're talking about someone with a major transgression that had the audacity to steal someone else's hard-earned research. Cheaters never win. It always catches up to them in the end. In this case, the ex-advisor gets rightfully exposed, and that goes on to cost her her job. 

It's abundantly clear why this person felt they needed to cheat...

R/legaladvice is a place for people to ask if they have a legitimate case in whatever dispute they're in. People get in some real jams. Some people are more guilty than others. Like this genius.

How does a teacher grade fairly when a student has just put real work into something so damn stupid?
