Not to take away from these legit ones, but it surprises me that some of the recent plagiarism cases included people who plagiarized their acknowledgements. Like really?
- kirrent 2y agoMy housemate during our honours year had large portions of his thesis plagarised by the student who took over his work afterwards. We were surprised to discover that of all the lifted sections it was the acknowledgements that had the highest proportion of copying! I found this doubly funny because, compared to the adroit technical writing in the rest of the thesis, my friend's acknowledgement seemed florid and overwritten to me. It's a truly fascinating phenomenon.
- saagarjha 2y agoI mean, if they plagiarized the paper it's only right to thank the people who helped the original version, no?
