[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sounds to me like he copied entire sections, changed a couple of words to "paraphrase" it, and didn't cite any of it. OP's claim that it was just phrases like "quid pro quo" is idiotic and probably actually means that it was the whole quid pro quo section.

Of course your DS didn't deliberately plagiarize. But it sounds like he doesn't really understand what that even is and thinks that if he uses a few transparent synonyms and doesn't copy-paste straight from the website as-is, that it's enough. It isn't. He would get dinged for this at every single college and the professor would NOT be impressed by a "I didn't do it deliberately!" excuse. They hear every excuse in the book and 95% or them are stupid or lies. Everyone thinks they are special. They aren't.

How does he not know, even without being told, that he needs to cite stuff? In 12th grade? It's so obvious it doesn't need saying. Not at this point in his school career. [/quote]

This. All of this. [/quote]
