The plagarism policy at The University of Michigan is very typical. I expected most of what was explained on the website. There are many policies explaining how works should be cited in english papaers, and rules against stealing other’s work. However, I was surprised to see a rule in which a student is not allowed to submit the same paper, or portions of the same paper, twice for two different assignments. I am glad I was aware of this, because I am not sure that if the opportunity presented itself where I was able to submit the same paper for an Intro to English class as well as an Intro to College Writing class, I would not sieze it. Now that I am aware, I will definitely be sure to write every paper assigned, individually.
I have written to a student at Michigan named Ilana Black, who I know because she gave me my first tour of Michigan last year as a student tour guide in November. We have kept in contact and I e-mailed her last night with a few questions regarding classes I should take, shouldn't take, and overall advice to an incoming freshman, as a senior now leaving the University. As soon as I recieve a response, I will blog about her answers.
