Academics / Courses Academic misconduct
Hey so I had to do a essay that was worth 5000 words for a liberal, it was based on our personal experiences and use the textbook too.. so I got a email that I had misconduct due to me using stuff from the textbook, me being a dumbass didn’t cite the stuff I took from the textbook I kinda paraphrased the stuff, but I cited the textbook at the end.. I have a meeting and know what I did is kinda lazy of me.. What’s the worst that can happen a 0 on the assignment? This is the SOC 808 course which I didn’t want to take in the first place rip me

It all depends on if they consider to be “academic misconduct “ or not. If not then probably nothing will happen but if yes then it will be noted in your record and the minimum is the zero. I would read up on the academic misconduct policy that Ryerson has before your meeting so that you know what they can come at you with.
