So it’s finals week.
This is my first semester at community college.

I turned in my 12 page research paper two weeks ago, and I just got an email today from my professor saying that I didn’t cite one of my sentences, and she considered it plagiarism and that she could not accept my paper.

I asked if I could re-write that section of the paper and turn it in for reduced points, but she said that since our final class is tomorrow, it is too late.

That paper is 65% of the course grade.
Even if I get a 100 on the exam, I’m still going to fail.

Isn’t that a little harsh?
