I was grading narrative essays today, and I came across an essay that incorporated a whole bunch of research without any citations. That's right, it was supposed to be a a personal narrative, but the student decided to copy and paste sentences from other sources and claiming it as her own. I catch at least one plagiarist every year. Not a semester has gone by without someone cheating. Oh well, maybe 2016 will be a plagiarism free year?
