WOW..

I am going to rant about a few things that happened this because I am not quite happy with the ending results. First off I enjoy giving other a helping hand no matter the situation but now that it has involved the school I am little aggravated. A person that I just met this semester recently has asked for help on some assignments of course I offered. The next week I was asked if I could e-mail my assignment that I had recently turned in two days in advance to look over as a reference of course I said “yes”. I thought it would be ok to help where the person did not receive a zero. Well… little did I know something BAD was about to happen. Our teacher had posted on BB that plagiarism is against the MSSU policy, could result in an F in the class, and kicked out of the teacher education program. Of course, my intentions were wow that is awful and I double-checked my work making sure I sited resources etc and I figured I was ok. I then get a phone call from that “friend” saying “Jenny…. We have a problem…. I accidently turned in your chart as mine with your name and nothing changed.” Are you serious? I was not a happy camper afterwards and then receiving an e-mail saying, the three of us need to discuss this incident. The next day the meeting took place of course I got punished as well for letting her “cheat” off my assignment and teachers are technically not suppose to do this type of activity. In the result, I received the same punishment- a zero on the assignment and a write up at MSSU- other (student giving education chart to another student). It was not a great Monday and Tuesday to start my week. I have worked my *** off this semester studying, assignments on time, observation hours, papers and much more. I have often helped others out who work full-time or do not understand. I recently had straight A’s but I now have a B in one class and perfect attendance. I could honestly ring someone’s neck, which I understand it was an honest mistake. I am not dishonest, that is what bothers me the most, and my feelings actually are hurt by this. I have learned never to do this again in the future. After all of this I then asked this person where in BB was our handout that the class was suppose to bring to class and I got a reply saying “Oh… I do not know but I printed it off already. Sorry” I was livid. Luckily, after deep searching on BB I found it and had it for our class discussion. Then I get a call today saying, “Hey have you turned in your assignment” I replied, “Yes… I turned it in the other night” then a reply of “Oh… I am turning it in late because I was busy tonight and I can find the submission for it.” I explained where it was in the assignments but the teacher had taken it down after the time limit. I checked my e-mail seriously twenty minutes ago and the teacher said she extended the submission until Friday at Five pm. ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME…. I again turned in my assignment on the due date and I still get in trouble. RAR… Oh and not to mention my advisor is horrible and never once told me that I could fill out a petition slip for almost three classes that I transferred over from PSU. What a rough week… Is it
Friday…YET? ;)

  2. Well sorry about all that Jenny. Sounds like you did have a very rough week. I can sympathize. I don't see how letting someone see your table for reference is cheating and if they turned yours in then obviously you didn't copy. I mean there is no way they would've put your name on their chart. Regardless I would be done with that person. Those aren't mistakes, at least not ones done by sober people.
