Yeah, sorry about that.

What's to be sorry about. One can't expect to be perfect, or one wouldn't be human

[Stian89]

Yeah, sorry about that.

It's not like I was "truly sorry", hehe. I just meant that it was an irritating error to make, given that when you read the sentence out loud, it's pretty obvious what sounds best

Oh bollocks!

 

Can those of you who quoted me on the homework help please remove the quote? The plagiarism control will find it. Not that it is much of a problem...buuut.

Done and done.

What's that? Something to do with English papers or something? Duplicating and plagiating and cheating?

True, though to be on the safe side, you could always google for "plagiarism control". I found a decent program here the other day (don't remember the name), that I sometimes use when I hand in papers. It gives you a percentage of identical words found on the net, and references to sources where similarities/copied material occur.

Yes, our English teacher loves the plagiarism control program which our school uses, and she tells us all the time how effective it is and how screwed we are if she finds out we are using copied material...and so on..and so on

[Propofol]

Needless to say, but I'm glad this thread became so active again!

Well, any more than three similiar words in the same context is considered cheating..

[MrLee]

Remember that. So if you use the following words "That is the" or similar, you're screwed...

 

 

 

 

edit: So there will be some actual substance to my posting:

 

Does it ever happen to you that you know exactly which phrase or word you would use for something in English, but for the life of you you are unable to think of the Norwegian equivalent?

 

Assuming you are native Norwegian with Norwegian as your primary language of course.

Three at our school. But then again, our school is led by prioprietary fascists. Seriously.

[Complexity]

Teachers never find out about copied material, it's just something they say to scare you.

[Fruktkake]

I took my BCG shot today, my arm feels a little funny right now.

 

When talking about cheating. I never cheat at tests, but my teacher is very scared of me doing it since I know more about computers than him. So when I was doing my Norwegian mock exam, he said I couldn't use my computer (in which the state paid for :roll), and he gave me some of the fill inn workers had used. I noticed it was rather unstable and had spyware on it. Hence when we were having evaluation of our tests I took a backup of my work on my USB pen in case the computer'd crash. Later on I handed my work on the teachers USB pen and asked him if I could have a copy of my work (my backup had an old verision of the work). I handed him my pen and when he saw the backup and thoud I had brought work from home. I was taken out of the class room and questioned, the truth sounded like a really bad excuse but it was the truth. He said he belived me, but I dunno. The test was aprooved, but I think he has an eye out for me which is pretty annoying. I never cheat at school anyway.

[Stian89]

I cheat constantly! Difference is, I always get away with it

 

That being said, I don't cheat constantly, though it does happen a bit too often.

 

@Complexity: Even though teachers don't bother to do plagiarism controls, the fact is that when a paper is handed in through a service such as itslearning, the plagiarism control is automatic. In fact, just the other day I had a friend of mine being "caught" for having plagiarized material. He got a "100% copied material" when he handed his paper in through itslearning. This happened because he pasted his paper in the message field of the mail he sent to the teacher, as well as attaching the .doc as an attachment. When he hadn't really cheated at all, it's learning was dumb enough to pick up both papers, and accuse him of "cheating on himself" if you will. (Needless to say, that error has been plugged by the itslearning developers now).
