16. Scenario Two – Scene Four Note: Please read the text notes below for context Please convene a plagiarism meeting with Clare Tate. Tell her a witness should accompany her, and that the student union will provide one if no one else is available.

17. Scenario Two – Scene Five Note: Please read the text notes below for context I thought I’d changed enough words. I’m so sorry. I’m working three part-time jobs to pay for tuition and got caught against a deadline. Please, next time talk to me beforehand Clare . I n line with University policy I’ll give you another chance to submit the assignment, but I’ve got to dock two grades. Ok? Ok…

18. Scenario Three

19. Scenario Three – Scene One I’ve always had an instinct for plagiarism. It’s in unusual vocabulary, or sentence structure. I’ve not been wrong yet.

20. Scenario Three – Scene Two My head is empty on this assignment, and it’s due on Friday. Look, write out what you have. It just happens a friend of mine from the cycling society aced this course last year; I’ll get you his paper.

21. Scenario Three – Scene Three What plagiarise? Isn’t that wrong? Well they say that in the handbook somewhere, but then they tell us undergrads aren’t supposed to have their own ideas. I’ve done it before; just make sure you change enough words so you don’t trigger Monty’s memory.

22. Scenario Three – Scene Four I feel as if I’ve read this somewhere before, but it’s not a set text.

23. Scenario Three – Scene Five A long way above your usual standard.. Well Done 78%

24. Scenario Three – Scene Six My heart was beating so fast when I got the paper back; I thought I’d been caught . But you got 78%. Well done, that will help your course grade.

25. Scenario Three – Scene Seven But it’s not my work … Look you reinterpreted. Some of it’s your own. So it’s not that different from paraphrasing it from an academic in a library book, is it? University is all about results. That’s what the academics, government and employers care about. You should get 78% for showing initiative.
