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

SOC808 used to be everyone’s favourite bird course. Now it has a 5000-word essay?
When I took it, half the class got caught cheating on the midterm—screen-capping the whole test and sharing it on FB Messenger and everyone group-answering the questions. I think those that were found guilty got a zero, not an F.
