The Office

Angela Martin, a Bryn Mawr student taking Paper Sales 300 with Professor Michael Scott, was confronted about extensive plagiarism in her midterm paper. Upon being confronted, she noticed that she had submitted an earlier draft form of her paper rather than the final copy, and that accounted for a large part of the external source usage and lack of citation. Throughout the trial she was receptive to the trial goals and was honest with the jury about her lack of malicious intent and stress going on in her life at the time. In the end, she received a 0.0 on her midterm paper and was asked to write a letter to the community as well as meet with her deans for continued plagiarism education
