i agree completely, the punishment does not fit the crime

I think you fail to realize how SERIOUSLY plagarism is taken at most colleges.

I liked this line:

Pretty awful paper, right? But it reads well. Too well.

so true...that's a BETTER plagarized paper than most.

you know... I just can't dredge up a whole lot of sympathy for her. My concern tho is whether or not he actually got the right person.

Does this not strike anyone as being fake? A paper about hinduism and her last name is krishna? I call shens.

Agreed, not just her name, but the whole story too.

BTW - this guy admits in a later post that he in fact made up her name and school

Why... she tries to plagarize, she get's turned in. Why does the punishment not fit the crime

she should have gotten punished for plagarizing, however, publicly naming her in that way is wrong. Why did he have to blog the whole situation. Wouldn't sending it to the professor be enough?

So the girl is getting kicked out of school and you are complaining that blogger is embarrissing her? Aren't your priorities a little out of order? I would guess probable expulsion is much worse then potential embarrassment.

no, she definately should be expelled, but i'm just saying that its bad enough that she is being expelled, what is the guys purpose in publicizing it besides showing everyone how an old man pwned a college kid. you know what I mean?

I think it's all made up, a nice modern-day fake-event ad campaign... Barnum & Bailey...

I don't get it. Was this Laura K. Krishna found out to be the real person?

He changed her name after it happened. Her real name can still be found other places.

I thought that was weird how her last name was the first name of my Indian neighbor.

 

[Landroval]

Would be nice if it's true -- but her last name and the name of her school makes me think the joke's on us....

edit: despite the author's original insistence, it says elsewhere on the site that those details were altered after people contacted her school

How so? If you're in college you should know the difference between right and wrong, and plagarism is wrong. I don't find anything wrong with him exploiting her stupidity.

:roll:

Seriously, I have no sympathy. She's there to do the work herself, not to pay someone else to do it. The prevalance and ease of cheating has prompted universities across the country to subscribe to services like TurnItIn.com, and make no mistake we as the students are underwriting that subscription. All because of people like her.

:thumbsup:

4. he finds out her full name and college
5. turns her in to school
6. syringered

Fixed it for ya.

 

[PingSpike]

I don't really have much sympathy it seems pretty stupid to contact a random aoler to try and get some one to write a paper for them.

I know my degrees are cheapened by the kind o fBS some of my fellow graduates got away with. She's been made an example of...maybe it will make future miscreants think twice about plaigiarising, and make more colleges subscribe to plaigarism fighting services. I see nothing but positives coming from this.

Plagiarism is cool

If I was going to be in the area where he lives anytime soon he would dissappear without a trace.

What she did was wrong. But what he has done is worse.

The people that dug her up and harassed her are bastards. That's just not cool. The blogger should have kept her last name out of it, but I think he honestly didn't think anyone would see it outside his close group of friends.

But, as someone who worked hard in high school to get to college and worked hard in college to get my degree, I have no sympathy for any cheaters and nothing against those who call them out. Judging by the girls AWFUL writing skills, ("are you asking me to throw my education, I will be expelled, please put an and to this. i can help you in anyway") this probably isn't the first time this leech has cheated.

I hope the dean makes an example of her.
