Plagiarism

I have developed a new pet peeve in my life. Plagiarism. I was assigned to write a paper with four of my other classmates. I have no problem with this, but I wanted the knowledge that it was done so I had them all send me their paper. Upon receiving their paper one of the people had sent me a completely plagiarized paper. OH MY!!!!!! No references no nothing. So I wrote her an email and in a stern but kind way told her I would not be accepting her paper and she needed a new one.

Well I never got a response.

I emailed another group member to inform him that we might be needing to write more because we might have lost a member due to plagiarism. He informed me that I did not need to worry about plagiarist. The teacher would probably not notice. He informed me that he had also copy and pasted a majority of his paper but he did not figure anyone would notice!!!!!

WHO SAYS THESE THINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT HAS THE WORLD COME TO.... In my naive mind this just happens on the movies not in MY class in MY group!!!!!

Lord please give me the wisdom to deal with this situation in a way that honors you.
