Where the heck did they get the money tho. It’s just shows the two signing things. Wouldn’t their parents realize something when their money was running out? Just a thought I had while showering and thinking of childhood cartoons. Lol

In 7th and 8th grade, the 2 years after my dad died suddenly, I was put in two music classes a day as that was the only extracurricular activity available to me. (I had some health problems that almost prohibited anything else along with some pretty bad PTSD) I was not good at music. At all. We all knew it by then. My music teacher had a rather soft spot for me. And his actual band's gigs and the advanced jazz, and marching band. He stayed out late at night with all of them playing actual gigs, or having practices. So he was often running in the morning. So he allowed me to step in for him. I was very responsible for my age. I would open the classroom to first period beginner's band, give their warm up lessons, clean the band room and his office, grade written assignments, etc, etc. Which was fine, and I actually got a solid A. 4th period advanced band was a lot harder. But I managed to find enough to do till the final exam. Then it became mandatory that every student turn in a piece of music that showed their appreciation and feelings about music. No exceptions. Since I basically quit music 3 years before, this was a problem I REALLY fretted over for about a week. Then my teacher had an epiphany of sorts, I had made him a black and white dreamcatcher with little music note beads for Christmas. This was before they were available at every gas station and craft store. This was the real deal, actual elk sinews, and leather from and I elk I killed, even now I'm amazed I was every that patient and industrious. Since it took so much work and effort (and I made one for every teacher) he didn't get his till February or March. He allowed it to be my final exam. He stated that it was the perfect example of music what music was for me. I loved music enough to understand that I had no business butchering it, but was still happy to work hard and get up early to show my appreciation of it, and it was a tangible contribution that anyone could appreciate and understand instead of a more abstract song that the average person couldn't see or feel. Years and years later on Facebook I found him again and we're friends. Apparently, he and the the other music teachers in my district now allow kids with dyslexia or with special needs to make something instead of writing a piece of music to show it's contribution to their lives. Even if they don't really learn music in a music class. He mentioned that our small district still doesn't have a lot of extracurricular activities, so kids who really aren't the musical types often end up in there anyway. He still has the dreamcatcher. As there was no way for me to sign it, this was over 30 years ago, and when I got married I changed my name fairly drastically, he always wants to know who did it. Apparently he posts pics around every Christmas, and asks if anyone can remember the girl's name who started it. I'll tell him eventually. Probably as he nears retirement, but damn, that just makes my entire miserable, unremarkable 3 years of junior high worth it right there. Thank you Mr. M. I swear those couple hours every day was the only way I managed to get through those super difficult, unhappy years without jumping into traffic. You're a better teacher and mentor than you ever even knew.😁❤🧡💛💚💙💜
This is one of the sweetest stories I’ve ever heard. I wish I had ambition/dedication like that! Or maybe even a teacher to have a bond with. Thank you for sharing
Classmate turned in an essay that looked like he'd just written a word, and then took autocomplete suggestions for each successive word. Also, once, I was the only person on my five person group project that didn't plagiarize their section. I was also the only one who wrote it in the correct font. I was also the only one who got a grade higher than 0 for that project. I was also the only member of the group who passed that class that year.
@@asajones7887 as in, there was a mix of different fonts and sizes because they kept the font and size from whatever they copy-pasted. And we were told to use a specific size (11) and one of a few fonts (because somebody liked using damn near illegible fonts to piss off the teachers)
I had a kid turn in a paper that was just copied and pasted from the internet... including the name, classroom, and school of the person who originally wrote it.
Yeah, my tutor told me he had 2 out of his 20 students turn in software projects last year where they didn't even bother to change the author tag in them.... Wanna know how I learned that? I got a 0 on my assignment cause the name on my project didn't match the name on my student ID. My tutor knew me, but didn't know "student ID" person xD xD fun times. I don't actually use my legal name, hate it and am in the process of changing it. After we talked for a moment he went to our professor the next morning to get my plagiarism mark removed and grade my assignment properly... Gonna have to put my legal name on all parts of my final assignment though :( cause my tutor isn't grading it, but the ehhh practice leaders. (postgrads I think that are helping the prof by writing all the assignments and finals.)
I remember in Junior High School, we had an assignment to write a short story in class based on a picture. We did this several times, with different pictures. But these pictures had been xeroxed a bunch of times, so the image quality was poor. One time, it was a picture of guy swinging on a rope, like he was going to swing over a river and possibly drop into it. The thing is, he was mostly naked. If you squinted, you could see the remains of a line where his swimsuit (or possibly underwear) was supposed to be, but the picture was so faded, that in fact, one could assume that he was naked. So... I wrote a story about a naked guy. In fact, the story was about a guy who was dared to go skinny-dipping by his friends, but then they hid his clothes and tied him to a tree while he was naked, just so they could laugh at him. Well, apparently, the teacher gave a copy of my story to the vice principal who told me that I had written a very interesting story. I tried to take it as a compliment (thinking "Wow, I must be a really good writer"), while part of me knew that I probably shouldn't've written something so risque for a school assignment. And now as an adult, I wonder if the vice principal thought that I might be a troubled child who had actually experienced such a thing. I was not such a child. I was just rebelling because "Hee, hee, nakedness!" was funny to me because I was a young kid.
I teach English as a foreign language, you would not believe how often I hear students ask if they could write their homework/essays in their native language. What would be the bloody point in that
Oh god, I saw this video and had to watch it through to check that I wasn't in here. Yeah, I was one of _those_ kids, and let me tell you about the assignment I turned in. So I have a perfectionist streak, but I'm also a horrible procrastinator. Couple that with serious deadline anxiety and the fact that I would lock up under any sort of stress, and you could imagine how projects in school were a living hell for me. So... For a social studies class we had a final project. Each student would be assigned or got to choose a different variation of the project. The one I got assigned (or chose; I don't remember) was that I had to make a pop-up book about the timeline of civil rights or something. So I eagerly start working away, studying pop-up mechanisms and constructing all these little prototypes for the cool little things I was gonna have the book do. One page in particular I envisioned the twin towers rising up out of the page as you opened it, then falling back down when the page opened fully. This was going to be the *best* civil rights something-or-other timeline pop-out book ever! So fast forward to the night before due date. I hadn't worked on that project at all since the week we were assigned it, and I was freaking out so bad. I couldn't think, I couldn't work, I couldn't do _anything,_ and finally, at 3 AM in the morning, I broke down. I snapped. I lost my marbles. I stopped caring. I stopped trying to force thoughts and work that wouldn't come. I grabbed a stick of glue and some tape, and welded all of my prototype pop-out mechanisms together, creating 12ish "pages". I then proceeded to print out my typed notes from the class, as well as a shitton of memes from the Internet (i remember Steve Buscemi Minion was one) and proceeded to paste them all inside the book. I didn't even bother to make them or the mechanisms that they were attached to fit within the pages. Finally, I needed a cover, so I, with what whatever lack of sanity I had, proceed to grab construction paper and paper towels, gluing them together into this Frankenstein cover. At the end, the whole thing looked like this eldritch, inch-and-half-thick paper sandwich, with things sticking out every which way and covered with deranged scrawlings and nonsensical images. To this day, I have no idea what went through my teacher's head when I handed that abomination in to her. It was the last day of class, so I never got it back to see. What I do know, however, is that that project was the difference between me passing and failing that class... and I passed.
A student misspelling his own name is pretty bad. The only time I've had a student misspell their name was when I had a female student who had recently gotten married to a guy with a difficult to spell last name (and of course, she had taken his last name).
I remember in 9th grade our Study of Social Environments class had to do a presentation on the Industrial Revolution. It wasn't a big ask, it was just basically getting us all to summarise what we learnt about it and get the excuse to use fun slides and transitions while doing it. Anyways, we were given like 6 weeks to do it, and it was time to present. This boy comes up, looking real sheepish, and plugs his USB in to the teacher's computer that was hooked up to the projector. We noticed when he opened up the PowerPoint that he had only two slides. The first one was just the intro (Industrial Revolution by So and So) The next slide was just one dot point. He presented "the Industrial Revolution began roughly around the 1700s", and then he thanked us and pulled out his USB and sat back down. Needless to say, he did not pass
In 6th grade, a kid in my ELA class did a book talk on the Sorcerer's Stone. About 80% of the report was just some variation of the phrase "there's lots of magic" or "you're a wizard Harry". Edit: oh yeah, that exact same kid did a book report on The Goblet of Fire in 7th grade. The quality of both book reports made me seriously surprised that he got that far through the series in that span of time. He also did a report on a Hannah Montana book that exact same year.
there are quite a handful of wizard-doings around these parts The person who goes by the name of Harry, Harry Potter, who just happens to be the titular character of the "Harry Potter" books, just so happens to have some ability of magic, thus, he is dubbed a wizard.
We had to write a story based on our dreams. Judging as my dreams are weird as hell, mine turned out very strange. I wrote about Lil Nas X dying after being killed by Hagrid and Vision. This caused the world to almost die in a tornado until a lesbian couple saved the day by going back in time. I think my teachers are concerned. I surprisingly got a B on it though. I now use this story for a prophecy in the religion of beans, something I made up to trick future historians into thinking people worshipped beans.
One of my professors at Stark State told this story: One of his students, for VB.net programming class, used swear words for all the variable names. The professor was going to talk to him and tell him that this was unprofessional, but he had another student turn in a lab exactly like his, swear words intact. So she'd copied off this guy and didn't even bother to change the dirty variable names! In high school, we had to turn in a poetry notebook with original poems and some maybe not original that we liked. One student included The Joker by The Steve Miller Band and claimed he'd written it.
My father once told me a story of how he for Mathematics exam just wrote his name, date and what class it was and turned in the paper. He then went to church to play the organ. He got half a point for his name and half a point for the rest. He ofc failed the exam gloriously but he didn't care.
We had 1 classmate that got 10 in english all of highschool and the professor graded his last test with a 9 he complained and got it changed (he didnt slack off in the test the teacher just decided to be an ass)
Kid: Hum Edger Allen Poe, The Raven, I've never heard of it, thereofe nobody else has, I mean there are thousands of poems in this book no way my teacher has read all of them, And this one's pretty good. Teacher: (Prolonged rant) Did you think.......gothic literature.......one of the most well known poems of all ti......James earl Jones.....Willam Defoe.....park bench.....

In my introduction to programming languages class I asked my students to send me the source code for a very simple program. One of them printed the code and gave it to me. Another one sent it through Steam chat.
@Ryan Howe The upside is they are more honest when they are struggling with something (whether it's related to class or not). I also made it clear that I am their friend AND their teacher. I have classes to plan and there are times of the day I can't chat/play with them. Some did try to pull the friendship card, which earned them a lecture on how everyone is treated fairly regardless of friendship.
the Sonic one caught me off guard. It feels like something I would've done in elementary school had I have the opprotunity (okay, maybe not the cross thing specifically, that was not my taste)
I did everything Sonic (or Mario) when I was in elementary school myself. I remember one assignment was to draw something anti-drug so I got some poster board and drew a comic on it of Knuckles trying to get Sonic to smoke some weed.
In fourth semester physics I had to conduct an experiment about the Faraday-Effect (the phenomenon of changing polarization of electromagnetic waves (i.e. light) in an optical medium within a magnetic field parallel to the waves' direction of propagation.). However I didn't use a single letter from the latin or greek alphabet for the different quantities. Instead the Verdet constant, the magnetic flux density, the electrical current etc. were all things like triforce, etank, fire flowers and such. Got full marks on it... gotta love these nerdy environments :D
last year I had to do a standardised test for English. the night before the test i watched the movie Dunkirk, so when we had to write an essay I just wrote out the storyline to Dunkirk in short form and I ended up getting the highest mark possible on writing.
Heard of a kid who had an assignment to write a picture book in French. He turned in a book about the joys of taking candy from strangers in vans. He got an A because, while disturbing, it was written in perfect french.
9:40 Exactly once, I turned in a blank exam. It was for the Encoding and Cryptography course, during the final exams session - aka, 3 weeks of back-to-back tests, presentations, and project turn-ins. About half-hour in, my brain just went "Nope!" Literally couldn't think anymore. So I went to the TAs watching us, told them I'm too fried to turn in any test, and would rather just scrap it than waste their time grading a clearly failing test. They agreed, and I took the test again in the last week, with the guys who skip or fail tests.
My mums friends daughter actually went to the a place the daughter was doing a test on and when the test was handed in, the teacher said it was plagiarised which it wasn’t nothing was from a website and was in her OWN words from the place she went to. It was rude from that teacher. 👎🏻
If you need to get rid of formatting on a copy-paste (e.g. shaded background, weird font) and always forget the keyboard shortcut like me, paste it into Notepad, then cut that back out and paste it into your Word document. Instant plaintext!
There was this one time when my best friend and I passed really silly poems. I made a poem about eating rocks while my best friend made one about a dog shitting on a talking grasshopper. We were both very low on ideas at that time.
Reminds me of when my nephew decided to go for his Eagle badge in boy scouts. He got all hyped up about it after the troop leader talked about the benefits of an eagle on your resume. So we get him all lined out with a schedule all the goals he had to meet. I helped him work through the first couple badges. Then realized he was mostly just copying down whatever I told him. So I purposely picked out a badge I knew little about and told him how to research online and fill out the answer sheet. The next week I read his answers. "I don't know, never been to another country." "I think there is one to the south." "They haven't taught that to me in school yet." A half hour on the internet would have given him correct answers. I know he's internet savvy because he can sure find all the cheats for the video games he was playing instead. After two more weeks it was obvious he lost interest as soon as work was involved so I quit wasting my time.
I'm glad I never plagiarised anything when I was at school, I was one of the lucky people who had all of their work submitted at random to some outside education body, something that only happens once every 4 years or so and only one or two people get checked. They said don't worry about it the chances of getting selected are slim to none, fuck my luck, was the days before people submitted things electronically, so I had to find all of my written graded work and hand it in, even had one of my teachers turn up to my door to get a piece of work that I had missed, fun times. If i had done anything even slightly dodgy I would have been so fucked.
Not a professor but a student. Me and my buddy were late for asignment so we turned in a broken file and when teacher tryied to open it, it wont open. Got a week more for it
I'm a tutor for college chemistry. One girl asked me to look over her lab report (she seemed proud of it). There were no figures, tables, or calculations... I knew full well that there should be at least 7 figures and 2 tables, plus a few calculations. As if that were bad enough, the entire thing was in first person with active voice. For those of you who don't know about lab reports, they have to be in 3rd person with passive voice. This was her second semester of chemistry, so she should have known by now... Another person tried to convince me that they could see individual atoms... they got really upset when I told them that was impossible. Had someone genuinely not know how any of the elements were different from each other... like, dude...
I had a thing in astronomy the school assigned (not the teacher) that was mandatory. The story was that it A-made sure she was teaching the proper subject and B-that we were literate in the scientific method. It was total bollocks. If she was teaching spanish or something, someone from admin would have heard about it. she had hundreds of students. And the assignment had us doing stuff nobody (im certain) was trained in. So instead of doing the assignment, I wrote a paper about how the whole thing was hogwash. When she gave it back she kind of like turned away from rest of class so they couldn't see or hear as well and said "I fucking loved this, can I keep it!" :D
9:41 with my English classes, most of the finals require a blank part. Essentially, the final part of the exam is writing 3 essays, and you’re given articles to do it. Problem is that you’re only given 2 hours to write em. So people just ace the first two and then doodle or do nothing for the third one, as you’ll still pass if you do even remotely good on the other two.
I specifically remember a history exam essay question (which I'm guessing wars had little if any relevance) where the professor said, "Any response that's 'Here's what happened in this war and here's what happened in that war' gets a zero."
In 9th grade, all of my English work was about 4 things; cats, star wars, star trek, and completely random crap. My teacher was a weird nerd like me so it went over pretty well.
To be completely honest, I'm a college student who's generally decent at geography (I know the capitals of most states and countries and at least approximately where they are, etc.) but I cannot, simply cannot remember which is the Atlantic ocean and which the Pacific. I've seen one of them and still, couldn't tell you which is which.
Amurry 24537 As someone who lives in NYC and is part Swedish, it always befuddles me how so many people confuse it. Then I screw something else geography-related up and it’s a very humbling “oh...” moment for me.
@@alexanderfooy723 oh, I understand completely. I live in basically the middle of the US and can't believe how many people don't know where Iowa is or something like that.
No one really cares but when I was 11, I answered all the questions of a Math test with "42 because according to 'The Backpacker's Guide to the Galaxy' this is the answer for everything". My teacher was mad, but I didn't really care since I didn't need to so good in that test (it was a work to get extra points in another test, which one I got an A+ so I obviously didn't need extra points)
In my fall of high school freshman year in my engineering class, we had around a month to do a presentation about an engineering field. This kid who we shall call K had basically had is presention all photos without bullet points or any information. Then we got a tower project and to describe his wooden tower, it was a wooden tower that only held up around 2 pound. And keep in mind, many other towers carried from 10-15 pounds. One of the junior TAs in the room commented that “this was the worst tower I’ve ever seen in my life”.
This one happened to me in 7th grade, we had a project where the class had to name all the states in the us (it was an empty map, just the outlines) and my partner turned to me and said: “is Chicago a state?” “No, its a city” “oh yeah, _pause_ it’s in new york, right?”
I had a gen ed course called Communication Foundations. Our final presentation was a 5 minute group power point presentation. Meaning we had groups of 4-5 people that would all pick a cause to create a persuasive presentation about. This meant we had to volunteer at things like pet shelters, homeless shelters, food pantries, etc, then talk about that experience and work it into a persuasive presentation about why people should also get involved. Skip forward to the last day of presentations, and the group that went before mine was missing a member. Thankfully, they were able to get through their parts of the presentation pretty well, however, no one understood the missing person’s slide. It was full of grammatical errors and different fonts. The person didn’t show up until everyone was headed out the door. I heard the prof say to him “Man, you just can’t get a win can you?” as we were all leaving. I think the guy genuinely just couldn’t adjust to the responsibility and different environment of the collegiate setting. Either way, the rest of his group were all righteously pissed at him. I would’ve been too.
Not a professor but, on the class "fundamentals of image processing" which is optional if you do Computer Engeneering, but mandatory if you do computer science. There is this final group assignment, that is basically you need to research and test about image filters and present your data, in a ppt and deliver an essay about it. Since every year the assign is somewhat the same, we have previous versions, but there is always at least one of questions that differ, so its not the same. But I shit you not, one of the groups, literally, took the last year assignment (PDF) cut off the first page, cut off the only one different question, and presented as ppt. The entire class in disbelief, while they present the pdf in the slideshow, and you could easily see that they had absolutely no idea wtf they were doing. You could hear discreete giggles, and they gave 0 fks.
I was a lab TA for a chemistry course in college designed specifically for non-STEAM degrees. This required a lab "report" weekly that was basically a mini hw assignment. I once got a report that A. Referred to a beaker as a "bowl" B. The kid spelled bowl wrong thoughout the entire report and instead wrote "bowel". I laughed my ass off reading how "the chemical was inserted into the bowel and stirred" repeatedly in the procedure. I only deducted one point bc of the entertainment value of this masterpiece.
@19:34 He ran for our sins! XD Somebody send help, Im rolling and I cant stop laughing! I just got the picture of the most beautiful stained glass art with sonic on the cross.
During English, we had to write about how creativity can help solve environmental problems. Some kid wrote "I dont care about environmental problems" and then continuously said, "but it's TRUE. I dont care about that stuff."
Google translate is actually really good between french and English. I used to work for a Canadian manufacturer, when uploading products to Walmart Canada or other retailers we needed french product descriptions. For years used google translate and my basic french knowledge and never got called out. Step 1: Confirm there are no phrases that may have a hard time translating to french. If there are any alter the English to be a more literal definition of intention. Step 2: Translate to French Step 3: Confirm verb conjugation and other simple grammar related things I still remembered Step 4: Translated back to English to confirm it still made sense and fit with intention. It can be off from original English but must still mean the same thing. I presume one of 3 things happened 1) We lost a lot of french Canadian sales due to my horrible french translation skills 2) French Canadians do not care if descriptions do not sound right 3) I was actually providing decent translations without having to wait 2 weeks for our translator to finally get back to us
Back in eighth grade, we were assigned to film and create a video about our country's independence anniversary. My friend was fooling around with the software while editing the video. Unfortunately he sent the wrong version of the project file to the teacher, and when the day came where our videos were presented to the class, his group's video was upside down with loud heavy metal dubstep playing in the background. It was so loud you couldn't even hear what the people in the video were saying. My friend stared in horror while the teacher just facepalmed. Luckily that assignment wasn't graded but that was still humiliating for him.
I would always plagiarize homework but was smart about it, I would choose a site that would be on the 10nth page of Google instead of Wikipedia, but this girl in my class copy and pasted a 30 pages Wikipedia article, it was a 2 paged assignment 😑
When I was substitute teaching long-term for 6th graders, I decided to give them a take-home final that would be worth 70% of their grade. Mainly because they had no teacher since the beginning of the semester and I was the only one who lasted for more than a week. FYI they were dead unruly but I digress. So I decided to give them a literal take home I know it was about 30 pages of everything we covered in class since I started. They had chances to do it before school where I had morning tutoring, doing their math class where I wasn't teaching them anything new just so that if they had any questions they can get through their final, and I stayed after school for certain students who wanted the extra help. All they had to do was ask and because it was a block schedule the kids had math for about two hours every day. Their parents were also informed of the tutoring sessions that they can do it at home and it was literally an open book test and all they had to do was finish it in a month and turn it in. The day it was due I had a student let's call her Allie. Allie and and a few other girls wanted to help with a kindergarten graduation that day. Her best friend Daisy had completed and was B material. I told Allie that she couldn't go unless she gave me her final. She give it to me not one thing was written on her final. She had literally an entire month. I told her to do something and put it on the page. instead of her doing one of the most blatant cop out and copy someone else's paper all she did was Put the number that was closest to the equals sign at the answer. So let's say the problem was 2 + 2 she would answer it as two. I just looked at this paper And looked at her and asked what she proud of this. Cue the excuses number one she didn't know about the assignment when that didn't work number two she didn't have enough time to do it when that didn't work number 3 you are always busy and you never help me. when all of her appeals were exhausted I just let her go. I kept the paper as a reminder how some students are just plain lazy and there's literally no help for them. For those of you wondering she got a 18%
One girl in primary school handed in her homework which was a print out from some website and had "[name]'s homework" written in the top corner. Of course, the teacher was mad and called her out in front of the entire class. This was the first and only time this girl had done something like this and she had a blank expression on her face the entire time.
My class had a Lunar New Year assignment for History in sixth grade. It was really, really, easy. The teacher said that we could find all our answers on one site. It was a table, and the website had 9 sections. For each section, we had to say something that we learned from it. To give you an idea of how easy it was, I wrote for the dessert section, "Chinese people have a lot of symbolic deserts." Some people plagiarized from the website. I still can't understand why.
Well, we had to write a program in x86 assembly that would solve a calculus problem. The shortest solution had a bonus associated with it. Mine was hard to beat: MySolution: JMP ExampleSolution ; Done, LOL
Once on my high school class, we had to write our names on a paper for something that I don't remember what it was for, one of my friends had a calligraphy that was so bad, that the people who printed the paper put a completely different name there.
In 7th grade we were given a blank pieces of paper and a week to make an 8 cell cartoon strip. A week later she told use to pass it up to the front of the class and I had done nothing at all. So I wrote "The invisible world" A few days later I got it back and it said "F the visible grade"
It’s not really bad, but once in high school we had an assignment to write an alternate ending to a book of our choice, around a page or two. what I wrote was probably long enough to be considered a short fanfiction (20-ish pages?)
I once did a copy-paste for a paper, but instead of turning it in as I found it on the internet I rearranged the paragraphs and reworded it instead of just keeping it in there.
19:32 I respected the mad lad for being a truly dedicated fan. Though given the state of the internet, that teacher should be glad the kid didn't hand in anything that was NSFW.
When i copy pasted something i used ctrl+a to select all change the font and erase hiperlinks and changed all the words i normally dont use it allways works it still took a lot of time but in the end i learned all of the content
Sonic.. I'm trying so hard not to laugh out loud at midnight and wake my mom up... The best part is, depending on how old I was, I definitely would have done this with my own fandoms, but I could never, ever have the chutzpah it would take to depict Arceus on the cross.
My Senior Year of High School I took AP Computer Science. I had a major project, which I found the code online. I copied and pasted the entire project. I changed all of the psuedocode, but forgot to change the names of the variables. I got caught because someone else in the class chose the same code to copy. In my defense, I had a bunch of assignments due that week combined with senioritis.
One of our character modeling classes... a student hopped onto Turbosquid and downloaded the first free character model and turned it in still in its zipped folder lol.
This reminds me of when my year 7 science teacher told my whole class that plagiarism was ok and she actually wanted us to so it could save time for her
This reminds me of in my 8th grade social studies class we were to present a PowerPoint on WWII. Everyone besides one kid copied and pasted from various Wikipedia articles
What I'm always amazed by is a student that continues to deny that they plagiarized when you have caught them in the act and have definite proof of their plagiarism. Like, yeah, it's just a complete coincidence that these two papers look exactly alike, including all the mistakes. I mean, I kind of understand, since you won't gain anything by admitting to it (except maybe the respect of the teacher) and there is the smallest chance that the teacher will go, "Oh, right, I guess it is a coincidence," but really, come on, you're not fooling anyone.
When i was in second year French we had to write about our city and I wrote I live in -blank- city. In the city center there is a coffee shop, inside the coffee shop there’s a stadium and inside the stadium there’s a hospital with a pool .... i felt quite studpid wen my friend was suppose to correct it but was just laughing and gave the teacher incorrect work .

Not a teacher, but I've got another story where the code wouldn't compile because the idiot copied the wrong thing. Programming class, I sent my code to one of the less bright classmates via facebook, back in the day where you have to click "see more" to see a long post. They complained to me the code wouldn't compile, turns out they copied the "see more" part in as well. -------- Different student, same college: managed to overhear someone explaining the basic concept of fractions to another student. Somehow someone managed to reach college without understanding the idea of fractions at all...
The stupidest part of all of these plagiarism essays is that if you press ctrl+shift+v instead of just ctrl+v it pastes the words without carrying over the text size/font

In 7th and 8th grade, the 2 years after my dad died suddenly, I was put in two music classes a day as that was the only extracurricular activity available to me. (I had some health problems that almost prohibited anything else along with some pretty bad PTSD)
I was not good at music. At all. We all knew it by then. My music teacher had a rather soft spot for me. And his actual band's gigs and the advanced jazz, and marching band. He stayed out late at night with all of them playing actual gigs, or having practices. So he was often running in the morning.
So he allowed me to step in for him. I was very responsible for my age. I would open the classroom to first period beginner's band, give their warm up lessons, clean the band room and his office, grade written assignments, etc, etc. Which was fine, and I actually got a solid A.
4th period advanced band was a lot harder. But I managed to find enough to do till the final exam. Then it became mandatory that every student turn in a piece of music that showed their appreciation and feelings about music. No exceptions. Since I basically quit music 3 years before, this was a problem I REALLY fretted over for about a week.
Then my teacher had an epiphany of sorts, I had made him a black and white dreamcatcher with little music note beads for Christmas. This was before they were available at every gas station and craft store. This was the real deal, actual elk sinews, and leather from and I elk I killed, even now I'm amazed I was every that patient and industrious. Since it took so much work and effort (and I made one for every teacher) he didn't get his till February or March.
He allowed it to be my final exam. He stated that it was the perfect example of music what music was for me. I loved music enough to understand that I had no business butchering it, but was still happy to work hard and get up early to show my appreciation of it, and it was a tangible contribution that anyone could appreciate and understand instead of a more abstract song that the average person couldn't see or feel.
Years and years later on Facebook I found him again and we're friends. Apparently, he and the the other music teachers in my district now allow kids with dyslexia or with special needs to make something instead of writing a piece of music to show it's contribution to their lives. Even if they don't really learn music in a music class. He mentioned that our small district still doesn't have a lot of extracurricular activities, so kids who really aren't the musical types often end up in there anyway. He still has the dreamcatcher. As there was no way for me to sign it, this was over 30 years ago, and when I got married I changed my name fairly drastically, he always wants to know who did it. Apparently he posts pics around every Christmas, and asks if anyone can remember the girl's name who started it. I'll tell him eventually. Probably as he nears retirement, but damn, that just makes my entire miserable, unremarkable 3 years of junior high worth it right there.
Thank you Mr. M. I swear those couple hours every day was the only way I managed to get through those super difficult, unhappy years without jumping into traffic. You're a better teacher and mentor than you ever even knew.😁❤🧡💛💚💙💜
This is one of the sweetest stories I’ve ever heard. I wish I had ambition/dedication like that! Or maybe even a teacher to have a bond with. Thank you for sharing
Great story, but needs more dragons and shit
Joey doink-doink yeah lol
Sounds like a good entry for the Askreddit question on “ballsiest thing you turned in for a grade”.
you killed an elk?
Ever since I clicked on one of these Ask Reddit videos I have not been able to stop.
Lmao, sAme
it’s honestly a problem
They’re good background material while I’m doing something else.
Classmate turned in an essay that looked like he'd just written a word, and then took autocomplete suggestions for each successive word.
Also, once, I was the only person on my five person group project that didn't plagiarize their section. I was also the only one who wrote it in the correct font. I was also the only one who got a grade higher than 0 for that project. I was also the only member of the group who passed that class that year.
@Chris Clifford why don't you want to color?
CaTastrophy427 the correct font? Lol what do you mean? How is there a correct font? Did they tell you a certain one to use?
@@asajones7887 as in, there was a mix of different fonts and sizes because they kept the font and size from whatever they copy-pasted. And we were told to use a specific size (11) and one of a few fonts (because somebody liked using damn near illegible fonts to piss off the teachers)
CaTastrophy427 oh thanks.
My AP World History teacher has a sign in her room that says: “Did you not get the grade you expected? Well, I didn’t get the work I expected.”
Ha! I love your history teacher.
I had a kid turn in a paper that was just copied and pasted from the internet... including the name, classroom, and school of the person who originally wrote it.
Yeah, my tutor told me he had 2 out of his 20 students turn in software projects last year where they didn't even bother to change the author tag in them.... Wanna know how I learned that? I got a 0 on my assignment cause the name on my project didn't match the name on my student ID. My tutor knew me, but didn't know "student ID" person xD xD fun times. I don't actually use my legal name, hate it and am in the process of changing it. After we talked for a moment he went to our professor the next morning to get my plagiarism mark removed and grade my assignment properly... Gonna have to put my legal name on all parts of my final assignment though :( cause my tutor isn't grading it, but the ehhh practice leaders. (postgrads I think that are helping the prof by writing all the assignments and finals.)
I remember in Junior High School, we had an assignment to write a short story in class based on a picture. We did this several times, with different pictures. But these pictures had been xeroxed a bunch of times, so the image quality was poor. One time, it was a picture of guy swinging on a rope, like he was going to swing over a river and possibly drop into it. The thing is, he was mostly naked. If you squinted, you could see the remains of a line where his swimsuit (or possibly underwear) was supposed to be, but the picture was so faded, that in fact, one could assume that he was naked. So... I wrote a story about a naked guy. In fact, the story was about a guy who was dared to go skinny-dipping by his friends, but then they hid his clothes and tied him to a tree while he was naked, just so they could laugh at him. Well, apparently, the teacher gave a copy of my story to the vice principal who told me that I had written a very interesting story. I tried to take it as a compliment (thinking "Wow, I must be a really good writer"), while part of me knew that I probably shouldn't've written something so risque for a school assignment. And now as an adult, I wonder if the vice principal thought that I might be a troubled child who had actually experienced such a thing. I was not such a child. I was just rebelling because "Hee, hee, nakedness!" was funny to me because I was a young kid.
I teach English as a foreign language, you would not believe how often I hear students ask if they could write their homework/essays in their native language. What would be the bloody point in that
I don't necessarily blame them for that. English is not an easy language.
Oh god, I saw this video and had to watch it through to check that I wasn't in here.
Yeah, I was one of _those_ kids, and let me tell you about the assignment I turned in.
So I have a perfectionist streak, but I'm also a horrible procrastinator. Couple that with serious deadline anxiety and the fact that I would lock up under any sort of stress, and you could imagine how projects in school were a living hell for me.
So...
For a social studies class we had a final project. Each student would be assigned or got to choose a different variation of the project. The one I got assigned (or chose; I don't remember) was that I had to make a pop-up book about the timeline of civil rights or something.
So I eagerly start working away, studying pop-up mechanisms and constructing all these little prototypes for the cool little things I was gonna have the book do. One page in particular I envisioned the twin towers rising up out of the page as you opened it, then falling back down when the page opened fully. This was going to be the *best* civil rights something-or-other timeline pop-out book ever!
So fast forward to the night before due date. I hadn't worked on that project at all since the week we were assigned it, and I was freaking out so bad. I couldn't think, I couldn't work, I couldn't do _anything,_ and finally, at 3 AM in the morning, I broke down.
I snapped. I lost my marbles. I stopped caring. I stopped trying to force thoughts and work that wouldn't come.
I grabbed a stick of glue and some tape, and welded all of my prototype pop-out mechanisms together, creating 12ish "pages". I then proceeded to print out my typed notes from the class, as well as a shitton of memes from the Internet (i remember Steve Buscemi Minion was one) and proceeded to paste them all inside the book. I didn't even bother to make them or the mechanisms that they were attached to fit within the pages. Finally, I needed a cover, so I, with what whatever lack of sanity I had, proceed to grab construction paper and paper towels, gluing them together into this Frankenstein cover. At the end, the whole thing looked like this eldritch, inch-and-half-thick paper sandwich, with things sticking out every which way and covered with deranged scrawlings and nonsensical images.
To this day, I have no idea what went through my teacher's head when I handed that abomination in to her. It was the last day of class, so I never got it back to see.
What I do know, however, is that that project was the difference between me passing and failing that class... and I passed.
A student misspelling his own name is pretty bad. The only time I've had a student misspell their name was when I had a female student who had recently gotten married to a guy with a difficult to spell last name (and of course, she had taken his last name).
I remember in 9th grade our Study of Social Environments class had to do a presentation on the Industrial Revolution. It wasn't a big ask, it was just basically getting us all to summarise what we learnt about it and get the excuse to use fun slides and transitions while doing it.
Anyways, we were given like 6 weeks to do it, and it was time to present. This boy comes up, looking real sheepish, and plugs his USB in to the teacher's computer that was hooked up to the projector. We noticed when he opened up the PowerPoint that he had only two slides. The first one was just the intro (Industrial Revolution by So and So)
The next slide was just one dot point. He presented "the Industrial Revolution began roughly around the 1700s", and then he thanked us and pulled out his USB and sat back down.
Needless to say, he did not pass
In 6th grade, a kid in my ELA class did a book talk on the Sorcerer's Stone. About 80% of the report was just some variation of the phrase "there's lots of magic" or "you're a wizard Harry".
Edit: oh yeah, that exact same kid did a book report on The Goblet of Fire in 7th grade. The quality of both book reports made me seriously surprised that he got that far through the series in that span of time. He also did a report on a Hannah Montana book that exact same year.
there are quite a handful of wizard-doings around these parts
The person who goes by the name of Harry, Harry Potter, who just happens to be the titular character of the "Harry Potter" books, just so happens to have some ability of magic, thus, he is dubbed a wizard.
We had to write a story based on our dreams. Judging as my dreams are weird as hell, mine turned out very strange. I wrote about Lil Nas X dying after being killed by Hagrid and Vision. This caused the world to almost die in a tornado until a lesbian couple saved the day by going back in time. I think my teachers are concerned. I surprisingly got a B on it though.
I now use this story for a prophecy in the religion of beans, something I made up to trick future historians into thinking people worshipped beans.

One of my professors at Stark State told this story:
One of his students, for VB.net programming class, used swear words for all the variable names. The professor was going to talk to him and tell him that this was unprofessional, but he had another student turn in a lab exactly like his, swear words intact. So she'd copied off this guy and didn't even bother to change the dirty variable names!
In high school, we had to turn in a poetry notebook with original poems and some maybe not original that we liked. One student included The Joker by The Steve Miller Band and claimed he'd written it.
My father once told me a story of how he for Mathematics exam just wrote his name, date and what class it was and turned in the paper. He then went to church to play the organ. He got half a point for his name and half a point for the rest. He ofc failed the exam gloriously but he didn't care.
had a student argue he deserved a better grade because he'd never gotten lower than an A before, and I shouldn't break his chain.
We had 1 classmate that got 10 in english all of highschool and the professor graded his last test with a 9 he complained and got it changed (he didnt slack off in the test the teacher just decided to be an ass)

@Ryan Howe We play CS:GO
@Ryan Howe Nothing weird about that. My old science teacher played Total War with the students.
@Ryan Howe Explain.
@Ryan Howe The upside is they are more honest when they are struggling with something (whether it's related to class or not). I also made it clear that I am their friend AND their teacher. I have classes to plan and there are times of the day I can't chat/play with them. Some did try to pull the friendship card, which earned them a lecture on how everyone is treated fairly regardless of friendship.
the Sonic one caught me off guard. It feels like something I would've done in elementary school had I have the opprotunity (okay, maybe not the cross thing specifically, that was not my taste)
I did everything Sonic (or Mario) when I was in elementary school myself. I remember one assignment was to draw something anti-drug so I got some poster board and drew a comic on it of Knuckles trying to get Sonic to smoke some weed.
The person who drew old shitty Sonic.. is having mad feelz
In fourth semester physics I had to conduct an experiment about the Faraday-Effect (the phenomenon
of changing polarization of electromagnetic waves (i.e. light) in an optical medium
within a magnetic field parallel to the waves' direction of propagation.).
However I didn't use a single letter from the latin or greek alphabet for the different quantities. Instead the Verdet constant, the magnetic flux density, the electrical current etc. were all things like triforce, etank, fire flowers and such.
Got full marks on it... gotta love these nerdy environments :D
last year I had to do a standardised test for English. the night before the test i watched the movie Dunkirk, so when we had to write an essay I just wrote out the storyline to Dunkirk in short form and I ended up getting the highest mark possible on writing.
Heard of a kid who had an assignment to write a picture book in French. He turned in a book about the joys of taking candy from strangers in vans. He got an A because, while disturbing, it was written in perfect french.
9:40 Exactly once, I turned in a blank exam. It was for the Encoding and Cryptography course, during the final exams session - aka, 3 weeks of back-to-back tests, presentations, and project turn-ins. About half-hour in, my brain just went "Nope!" Literally couldn't think anymore. So I went to the TAs watching us, told them I'm too fried to turn in any test, and would rather just scrap it than waste their time grading a clearly failing test. They agreed, and I took the test again in the last week, with the guys who skip or fail tests.
My mums friends daughter actually went to the a place the daughter was doing a test on and when the test was handed in, the teacher said it was plagiarised which it wasn’t nothing was from a website and was in her OWN words from the place she went to. It was rude from that teacher. 👎🏻

If you need to get rid of formatting on a copy-paste (e.g. shaded background, weird font) and always forget the keyboard shortcut like me, paste it into Notepad, then cut that back out and paste it into your Word document. Instant plaintext!

Reminds me of when my nephew decided to go for his Eagle badge in boy scouts. He got all hyped up about it after the troop leader talked about the benefits of an eagle on your resume. So we get him all lined out with a schedule all the goals he had to meet. I helped him work through the first couple badges. Then realized he was mostly just copying down whatever I told him. So I purposely picked out a badge I knew little about and told him how to research online and fill out the answer sheet. The next week I read his answers. "I don't know, never been to another country." "I think there is one to the south." "They haven't taught that to me in school yet." A half hour on the internet would have given him correct answers. I know he's internet savvy because he can sure find all the cheats for the video games he was playing instead. After two more weeks it was obvious he lost interest as soon as work was involved so I quit wasting my time.

I'm glad I never plagiarised anything when I was at school, I was one of the lucky people who had all of their work submitted at random to some outside education body, something that only happens once every 4 years or so and only one or two people get checked.
They said don't worry about it the chances of getting selected are slim to none, fuck my luck, was the days before people submitted things electronically, so I had to find all of my written graded work and hand it in, even had one of my teachers turn up to my door to get a piece of work that I had missed, fun times.
If i had done anything even slightly dodgy I would have been so fucked.
Not a professor but a student. Me and my buddy were late for asignment so we turned in a broken file and when teacher tryied to open it, it wont open. Got a week more for it
I'm a tutor for college chemistry. One girl asked me to look over her lab report (she seemed proud of it). There were no figures, tables, or calculations... I knew full well that there should be at least 7 figures and 2 tables, plus a few calculations. As if that were bad enough, the entire thing was in first person with active voice. For those of you who don't know about lab reports, they have to be in 3rd person with passive voice. This was her second semester of chemistry, so she should have known by now...
Another person tried to convince me that they could see individual atoms... they got really upset when I told them that was impossible.
Had someone genuinely not know how any of the elements were different from each other... like, dude...
I had a thing in astronomy the school assigned (not the teacher) that was mandatory. The story was that it A-made sure she was teaching the proper subject and B-that we were literate in the scientific method. It was total bollocks. If she was teaching spanish or something, someone from admin would have heard about it. she had hundreds of students. And the assignment had us doing stuff nobody (im certain) was trained in. So instead of doing the assignment, I wrote a paper about how the whole thing was hogwash. When she gave it back she kind of like turned away from rest of class so they couldn't see or hear as well and said "I fucking loved this, can I keep it!" :D
9:41 with my English classes, most of the finals require a blank part. Essentially, the final part of the exam is writing 3 essays, and you’re given articles to do it. Problem is that you’re only given 2 hours to write em. So people just ace the first two and then doodle or do nothing for the third one, as you’ll still pass if you do even remotely good on the other two.

I specifically remember a history exam essay question (which I'm guessing wars had little if any relevance) where the professor said, "Any response that's 'Here's what happened in this war and here's what happened in that war' gets a zero."
In 9th grade, all of my English work was about 4 things; cats, star wars, star trek, and completely random crap. My teacher was a weird nerd like me so it went over pretty well.
To be completely honest, I'm a college student who's generally decent at geography (I know the capitals of most states and countries and at least approximately where they are, etc.) but I cannot, simply cannot remember which is the Atlantic ocean and which the Pacific. I've seen one of them and still, couldn't tell you which is which.

In my fall of high school freshman year in my engineering class, we had around a month to do a presentation about an engineering field. This kid who we shall call K had basically had is presention all photos without bullet points or any information. Then we got a tower project and to describe his wooden tower, it was a wooden tower that only held up around 2 pound. And keep in mind, many other towers carried from 10-15 pounds. One of the junior TAs in the room commented that “this was the worst tower I’ve ever seen in my life”.
This one happened to me in 7th grade, we had a project where the class had to name all the states in the us (it was an empty map, just the outlines) and my partner turned to me and said: “is Chicago a state?” “No, its a city” “oh yeah, _pause_ it’s in new york, right?”
I had a gen ed course called Communication Foundations. Our final presentation was a 5 minute group power point presentation. Meaning we had groups of 4-5 people that would all pick a cause to create a persuasive presentation about. This meant we had to volunteer at things like pet shelters, homeless shelters, food pantries, etc, then talk about that experience and work it into a persuasive presentation about why people should also get involved. Skip forward to the last day of presentations, and the group that went before mine was missing a member. Thankfully, they were able to get through their parts of the presentation pretty well, however, no one understood the missing person’s slide. It was full of grammatical errors and different fonts. The person didn’t show up until everyone was headed out the door. I heard the prof say to him “Man, you just can’t get a win can you?” as we were all leaving. I think the guy genuinely just couldn’t adjust to the responsibility and different environment of the collegiate setting. Either way, the rest of his group were all righteously pissed at him. I would’ve been too.
Not a professor but, on the class "fundamentals of image processing" which is optional if you do Computer Engeneering, but mandatory if you do computer science. There is this final group assignment, that is basically you need to research and test about image filters and present your data, in a ppt and deliver an essay about it. Since every year the assign is somewhat the same, we have previous versions, but there is always at least one of questions that differ, so its not the same.
But I shit you not, one of the groups, literally, took the last year assignment (PDF) cut off the first page, cut off the only one different question, and presented as ppt. The entire class in disbelief, while they present the pdf in the slideshow, and you could easily see that they had absolutely no idea wtf they were doing.
You could hear discreete giggles, and they gave 0 fks.
I was a lab TA for a chemistry course in college designed specifically for non-STEAM degrees. This required a lab "report" weekly that was basically a mini hw assignment. I once got a report that A. Referred to a beaker as a "bowl" B. The kid spelled bowl wrong thoughout the entire report and instead wrote "bowel". I laughed my ass off reading how "the chemical was inserted into the bowel and stirred" repeatedly in the procedure. I only deducted one point bc of the entertainment value of this masterpiece.
It's STEM. Art hasn't contributed anything compared to subjects like Science, Engineering, Technology or Math.

Google translate is actually really good between french and English. I used to work for a Canadian manufacturer, when uploading products to Walmart Canada or other retailers we needed french product descriptions. For years used google translate and my basic french knowledge and never got called out.
Step 1: Confirm there are no phrases that may have a hard time translating to french. If there are any alter the English to be a more literal definition of intention.
Step 2: Translate to French
Step 3: Confirm verb conjugation and other simple grammar related things I still remembered
Step 4: Translated back to English to confirm it still made sense and fit with intention. It can be off from original English but must still mean the same thing.
I presume one of 3 things happened
1) We lost a lot of french Canadian sales due to my horrible french translation skills
2) French Canadians do not care if descriptions do not sound right
3) I was actually providing decent translations without having to wait 2 weeks for our translator to finally get back to us
Back in eighth grade, we were assigned to film and create a video about our country's independence anniversary. My friend was fooling around with the software while editing the video. Unfortunately he sent the wrong version of the project file to the teacher, and when the day came where our videos were presented to the class, his group's video was upside down with loud heavy metal dubstep playing in the background. It was so loud you couldn't even hear what the people in the video were saying. My friend stared in horror while the teacher just facepalmed. Luckily that assignment wasn't graded but that was still humiliating for him.
In elementary school, we were tasked to cut out a newspaper article and talk about the article during class. One kid brought in an obituary.
I would always plagiarize homework but was smart about it, I would choose a site that would be on the 10nth page of Google instead of Wikipedia, but this girl in my class copy and pasted a 30 pages Wikipedia article, it was a 2 paged assignment 😑

Actually wait no that's exactly what it is. Continue
In university I had several teachers give us assignments and power points that they had stolen off the internet. Was pretty sad.
When I was substitute teaching long-term for 6th graders, I decided to give them a take-home final that would be worth 70% of their grade. Mainly because they had no teacher since the beginning of the semester and I was the only one who lasted for more than a week. FYI they were dead unruly but I digress. So I decided to give them a literal take home I know it was about 30 pages of everything we covered in class since I started. They had chances to do it before school where I had morning tutoring, doing their math class where I wasn't teaching them anything new just so that if they had any questions they can get through their final, and I stayed after school for certain students who wanted the extra help. All they had to do was ask and because it was a block schedule the kids had math for about two hours every day. Their parents were also informed of the tutoring sessions that they can do it at home and it was literally an open book test and all they had to do was finish it in a month and turn it in. The day it was due I had a student let's call her Allie. Allie and and a few other girls wanted to help with a kindergarten graduation that day. Her best friend Daisy had completed and was B material. I told Allie that she couldn't go unless she gave me her final. She give it to me not one thing was written on her final. She had literally an entire month. I told her to do something and put it on the page. instead of her doing one of the most blatant cop out and copy someone else's paper all she did was Put the number that was closest to the equals sign at the answer. So let's say the problem was 2 + 2 she would answer it as two. I just looked at this paper And looked at her and asked what she proud of this. Cue the excuses number one she didn't know about the assignment when that didn't work number two she didn't have enough time to do it when that didn't work number 3 you are always busy and you never help me. when all of her appeals were exhausted I just let her go. I kept the paper as a reminder how some students are just plain lazy and there's literally no help for them. For those of you wondering she got a 18%
One girl in primary school handed in her homework which was a print out from some website and had "[name]'s homework" written in the top corner. Of course, the teacher was mad and called her out in front of the entire class. This was the first and only time this girl had done something like this and she had a blank expression on her face the entire time.
My class had a Lunar New Year assignment for History in sixth grade. It was really, really, easy. The teacher said that we could find all our answers on one site. It was a table, and the website had 9 sections. For each section, we had to say something that we learned from it. To give you an idea of how easy it was, I wrote for the dessert section, "Chinese people have a lot of symbolic deserts."
Some people plagiarized from the website. I still can't understand why.
But were the Phineas and Ferb episodes cited correctly?
I once said that my 2 year old cousin took it and ate it, and the teacher didnt believe me so I had to stay back during recess to do it..
Well, we had to write a program in x86 assembly that would solve a calculus problem. The shortest solution had a bonus associated with it. Mine was hard to beat:

; Done, LOL
Once on my high school class, we had to write our names on a paper for something that I don't remember what it was for, one of my friends had a calligraphy that was so bad, that the people who printed the paper put a completely different name there.
In 7th grade we were given a blank pieces of paper and a week to make an 8 cell cartoon strip. A week later she told use to pass it up to the front of the class and I had done nothing at all. So I wrote "The invisible world" A few days later I got it back and it said "F the visible grade"
It’s not really bad, but once in high school we had an assignment to write an alternate ending to a book of our choice, around a page or two. what I wrote was probably long enough to be considered a short fanfiction (20-ish pages?)
Not a teacher, but I once saw someone turn in a drawing of Spongebob surrounded by Soviet propaganda as his essay.
Alot of these actually sound like they were intended to be ironic
19:20 I agree, absolute madlad
I once did a copy-paste for a paper, but instead of turning it in as I found it on the internet I rearranged the paragraphs and reworded it instead of just keeping it in there.
Why does this video make me want to become a teacher like ten times more than I already do
19:32 I respected the mad lad for being a truly dedicated fan. Though given the state of the internet, that teacher should be glad the kid didn't hand in anything that was NSFW.
" yes, the world will burn one day again, as dust to to man and dust u shall return" oof.. chills...
*Number 15*
When i copy pasted something i used ctrl+a to select all change the font and erase hiperlinks and changed all the words i normally dont use it allways works it still took a lot of time but in the end i learned all of the content
Math test of 90 minutes. Student turned in 4 pages of randomly drawn ninja's because "Ninja's stole his answers"
5:08 You can fool some people sometimes. But you can't fool all the people all the time.
Sonic.. I'm trying so hard not to laugh out loud at midnight and wake my mom up...
The best part is, depending on how old I was, I definitely would have done this with my own fandoms, but I could never, ever have the chutzpah it would take to depict Arceus on the cross.
"an unhealthy obsession with sonic"
So every ten year old. i would pay money to see that window
In art uni my classmate just submitted 3 lousy sketches for every project for a course that was 100% coursework... infuriatingly he passes his degree
2:05 - Well that was just stupid.
My Senior Year of High School I took AP Computer Science. I had a major project, which I found the code online. I copied and pasted the entire project. I changed all of the psuedocode, but forgot to change the names of the variables. I got caught because someone else in the class chose the same code to copy.
In my defense, I had a bunch of assignments due that week combined with senioritis.
That guy who accidentally clicked Finnish instead of French... I had a friend once who did the exact same thing.
One of our character modeling classes... a student hopped onto Turbosquid and downloaded the first free character model and turned it in still in its zipped folder lol.
This reminds me of when my year 7 science teacher told my whole class that plagiarism was ok and she actually wanted us to so it could save time for her
This reminds me of in my 8th grade social studies class we were to present a PowerPoint on WWII. Everyone besides one kid copied and pasted from various Wikipedia articles
What I'm always amazed by is a student that continues to deny that they plagiarized when you have caught them in the act and have definite proof of their plagiarism. Like, yeah, it's just a complete coincidence that these two papers look exactly alike, including all the mistakes. I mean, I kind of understand, since you won't gain anything by admitting to it (except maybe the respect of the teacher) and there is the smallest chance that the teacher will go, "Oh, right, I guess it is a coincidence," but really, come on, you're not fooling anyone.
When i was in second year French we had to write about our city and I wrote I live in -blank- city. In the city center there is a coffee shop, inside the coffee shop there’s a stadium and inside the stadium there’s a hospital with a pool .... i felt quite studpid wen my friend was suppose to correct it but was just laughing and gave the teacher incorrect work . XD
3:02 - WHAT???!!!
Oh, eff man, the Norton Anthology of English Lit.
Brings back memories.
You have to write your name on every damn sheet. After a while, it's just scribbles
3:58 I need to be friends with that guy
Not a teacher, but I've got another story where the code wouldn't compile because the idiot copied the wrong thing.
Programming class, I sent my code to one of the less bright classmates via facebook, back in the day where you have to click "see more" to see a long post.
They complained to me the code wouldn't compile, turns out they copied the "see more" part in as well.

Different student, same college: managed to overhear someone explaining the basic concept of fractions to another student. Somehow someone managed to reach college without understanding the idea of fractions at all...
13:40 got a little too human on me there was fucking terrifying
One time I slid a piece of paper into the “Finished Basket” as smooth as I slide into my girls DMs
But the sad thing is that I don’t have a girl
1:40 - Did The plagiarising kid pass, or am I assuming he failed too?
Chicago one of 13 colonies? Lol
The stupidest part of all of these plagiarism essays is that if you press ctrl+shift+v instead of just ctrl+v it pastes the words without carrying over the text size/font
If I got a 4% on an exam, I would have to write my will cause I could never live past that.....(sarcastic...mostly)
You can ironically turn something in?!?!
