Unless you are writing poetry or art (where ocasionally this makes sense, to avoid censorship for instance, or to make a point), that's just bad writing. Should you get penalized for plagiarism? No. Should you get bad grades for writing like this? Probably yes.
- samarthr1 2y agoIt only matters when someone actually reads it no? If a tree falls and nobody heard it, did it actually fall? Also relevant, this is for my final year engineering project, not a writing course. The report that I write is not even read by those who grade my project, rather, the page count is checked, and a small amount of sanity-check-reading to make sure I have not just filled the pages with cinema songs is done. My grade is decided by my relationship with the panel, nothing else, not the quality of work done, not the idea, not the deliverables shown. I am absolutely sick and tired of this. I just wanted to do a good job, and write good code, but no, that does not move the needle one bit with our panel of reviewers. (Pardon my rant, but I really did want to do a great job with my project, but my university did not want to reward it) At any rate, I can get into a whole rant about incompetent lecturers at many Indian universities, but that is way off topic.
