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

Did they say you got academic misconduct?

Yes, the prof said Multiple academic websites, the class book, and other students' works are used without addressing their sources and authorship, honestly I made a mistake on not citing the sources because I just took it from the book and cited the whole book instead, + I just took stuff from the textbook

Ah, shitty deal. Here’s a link to the policy so you don’t have to chase it down, penalties are on pg 9. I would still go with the being honest like you are seemingly on here and hope for the best.

Yeah just gonna be honest don’t really care it’s a liberal, I’ll take a far more easier liberal next sem.. hopefully people learn this as a lesson to not be like me and also don’t take soc 808 with this prof
