Yea, as you 2O1 people know, an unfortunate event took place earlier this week. However, I want to make it clear that this is no verbal attack, I'm just trying to give some constructive criticism to our History teacher.
First of, I appreciate the fact that he has gone much effort to set up a website for us and correspondingly uploads useful information via his web page. However, there has recently been a mishap that has happened regarding the issue of Plagiarism. It is known that our History teacher has given us contracts to sign, and these contracts state that punishment shall be given to those who plagiarise.
This incident came about when our History teacher gave us an online worksheet to do. However, some people from our class had copied the answers to those questions straight of an identical source on the internet. Although I am not one of them, I do admit that their act of plagiarism was wrong . However, note the word "identical". Somehow, my classmates had managed to find a website that has the exact same questions as our worksheet, and another question comes to mind: Exactly who is in the wrong here? Our teacher, who has accused us of plagiarism, has done the exact same thing. Evidence? Typo-errors in the worksheet were identical to the ones on the website. It would be amusing to call it "a mere coincidence". And this sparked of quite a bit of friction between us students and him. So I hope that this issue will be resolved soon to ensure a conducive classroom environment (Yes, those same corny lines).
In conclusion, I just want to say, "Practice What You Preach".
