Really? You guys don't see the big deal? I dunno but my school district stressed so much APA, MLA formatting of citation so you wouldn't plagiarize. That's why I feel it is so incredulous that our principle did it--to a faculty member who was in the crowd at the ceremony.

At the University of Illinois plagiarizing leads to a minimum of a 0 on the assignment/test. The professor can even turn the plagiarism of the student into a failure of the course, or even expulsion from the university-----On the FIRST offense! It is all based upon w/e the prof wants.
I guess that's why plagiarism is such a big deal to me...
