xindigosaberx Got a course-wide message about the university's code of integrity(Plagiarism, Cheating etc..) last night and was concerned only to log in this morning to finish my assignments that are due tomorrow and realize another student has copied me word for word on my assigned discussion post for their reply on another students post. Literally claiming my words as their contribution. I am so weirded out right now. It's all right there in writing. There's no arguing it one way or another. Literally a copy and paste job.
Why is it always me? I don't want to be involved in this bs. I work hard on my posts and responses to make sure they fit the required model we were given for full credit. And it isn't easy! I'm not naturally good at constructive discussions. I have to WORK at it in a word processor and do revisions and check my grammar because I was out sick for nearly the entire general grammar quarter in middle school English. I missed almost an entire half semester due to overly long periods and resulting migraines. There's a lot I still don't know and it definitely shows when I'm writing. Having someone copy my hard work in a way that's extremely obvious makes me so uncomfortable. Nails on a chalkboard uncomfortable.
