Caught the little bastard

[treeskin]

One of Donna's students copied his final project from a flowerbed design offered on the Spring Hill Nursery website. Stole the pics and everything.

Note to future students: if you're going to copy a design, make it something simple. Hard-to-find hybrids of perennial centaurea are a bit of a giveaway.

Edited to add: And what truly sucks is, unless she can flunk him specificly for cheating, he's going to pass the damn class. Just barely, with a D, but....grrrrr. I hate it when manipulative little bastards like this one play the system and get away with it.

Wow. When I was in college, plagarism such as this was grounds for disciplinary actions, including flunking the class and being expelled - and that was university policy! I don't think that a policy on "cheating" should have to be included in a syllabus - it is EXPECTED that the work a student turns in should be their own. Gah.
