Like okay it's bad but in school they act like it's fundamentally one of the biggest sins, worse than murdering a man.

Funny that the certain establishment that is academia (and what the current iteration of academia was borne of) would be so upset at the idea of people coming in and taking goods and ideas that weren't their's to the benefit of themselves

Well stealing someone elses work and passing it off as your own is illegal and will get you into trouble in the real world.

So its good to teach kids not to do it, even if the way I was taught was just find a couple synonyms for some of the words and now its yours!

this it was basically a whole assignment in itself

why couldn't we just submit our assignments with the acknowledgment agreement that none of the information was our own discoveries And leave it at that.

This was always weird to me. You can copy someone's entire structure of a paragraph and it's fine as long as you reword it and somehow it's magically okay.

There are only so many ways you can phrase something. Everything is plagiarism.

Plagiarism is worse than being a baby killing, child molesting nazi jaywalker that kicks old ladies down the stairs and steals their crescent rolls.

Universities approach plagiarism with a one-size-fits-all mentality. For some assignments it's fair to have a strict stance, but for others it makes no sense. I was a teaching assistant and nobody was copying Wikipedia for their finals or whatever, the only time it ever came up was with random assignments like "summarize X reading." But it's silly, obviously I know and the student knows exactly where the information came from, yet I have to act like they were stealing if a sentence is too close to what was in the book they were specifically told to use.

It also doesn't help that citation is an imperfect science. I wish the APA and MLA people would get off their ego trip and just make it so once you cite something once you don't have to keep repeating it over and over like a jackass.
