[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That sounds like a bad assignment and [b]he should know to include works cited if he’s essentially using quotes regardless of rubric[/b]. However, the teacher sounds like she has no understanding of what plagiarism is if she thinks it can be identified by a subpar checker and then fixed in 10 minutes. If it was accurately picking up plagiarism the papers should be rewritten, not reworded. [/quote]

He used quotes when given that final 20 minutes. Rubric didn't require works cited (though he does this for many assignments). What he did was state a policy, and include, "In accordance with Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990"[/quote]

I agree that it does not seem reasonable that he would need to be told to use quotes and citations.  I think he needs to be careful of how he responds at this point in order not to continue agitating this teacher.  This is a tough lesson for him, but part of it is going to be diplomacy.  Standing up for himself is not worth it if it means throwing away things that are important for his future.  Also, I really don't think that he has much of a leg to stand on if this was not a problem that more of his class experienced.  It sounds like it really is his problem.  [/quote]
