Student Fights University Over Plagiarism-Detector
(Maly) writes "CBC is reporting that MCGill University has lost a fight to have students first turn papers over to an anti-cheating website before handing them in to professors. The student refused to hand in three assignments to the service, received a zero on those assignments, then fought the ruling. The story doesn't have many specifics, such as the venue of the fight (court or some internal university tribunal), but it is an interesting case. As a recent graduate of the social sciences, I find that practice appalling. The student is right to refuse, as he gets no compensation from the service for making money off his original work (assuming it was original!!). Although I don't like the idea, and I'm glad I never went through it, I suppose its analogue would be mandatory drug tests in sports."
Moderate me off-topic, will you? Well fuck YOU, here my post is again, in all it's original glory. Suck on that, you useless piece of shit!

Serious question for our Canuck millstones to the north: are the Quebecois worthless quaking pussies like their "brethren" in France? Gawd, I hope not
Sigh. You had to go and moderated my previous post a troll again, didn't you. Now I'm forced to post it AGAIN. (Like I said, don't bother moderating this post down, and I won't bother posting it again.)

When I fucked your mom I think she was plagerising from some porn movies...
Oh! Oh! Ughhh!
Plagiarism-Detectors Fight Universities for Students.
But seriously, you in the US have it easy. In Russia practically all students in practically all universities are expected to cheat. They are also expected not to know anything, but to pretend they do. And to pretend they are actually learning...
It goes as far as this:
A student comes to the Internet class in the library, asks the assitant to find her the "topic" (i.e. the essay), he offers to find her some materials about the topic on the Net, she asks fearfully what is she expected to do then? The assistant replies that she can string it together and write an essay, but the girl modestly refuses, saying that her teacher would be shocked at her impudence. "Who am I to write my own essay?" A true story, and while a little bit extreme, it is still quite representative.
