"The more things change, the more they stay the same."
When I was a student decades ago it was when they first introduced anti-plagiarism software. We all had to submit a printed out copy of our book reports along with a floppy disk or cd-rom of our report in the latest Microsoft Word format. Almost the whole class was flagged for plagiarism. Of course the school takes plagiarism very seriously so we all had to have a one-on-one with the principal. The real truth is no one copied each others work and it was the anti-plagiarism software flagging essays because students quoted parts of the book and expanded on that. In hindsight as an adult I think the excessive principal one-on-ones was the teachers way of shoving it to him and his new software.
