plagiarism. 0 For an English Paper.

I got a 0 for an English Paper because the instructor thought I "copied" this site.

Origional:
"His mood changes abruptly throughout the play"

and

"His behavior is very temperamental throughout the play"


Do I deserve a 0?

 

NO, based on that setence you don't although, if you have copied the whole text just chaning sentences slightly, i suppose you do.

 

If you were supposed to write your own paper but instead your paraphrased a site then i suppose the grade a is justified.

 

DID you copy aand found adjectives for every other word?

 

tell him to google it, just the entire phrase with the --> " " <--

 

DID you copy it? Is that the only sentence that appears to be plagiarized?

Edit: Did you copy anything else from this website? Lol. http://www.compusmart.ab.ca/hamlet/washemad.htm

 

Well if you only copied a few sentences and some ideas, then no, as long as you put it into your own words.
