“I promise.” “I swear to you it’ll never happen again.” “I give you my word.” “Honestly. Believe me.” Sure, I trust. Why not? I teach English composition at a private college. With a certain excitement and intensity, I read my students’ essays, hoping to find the person behind the pen. As each semester progresses, plagiarism (剽窃) appears. Not only is my intelligence insulted as one assumes I won’t detect (查明) a polished piece of prose (散文) from an otherwise-average writer, but I feel a sadness that a student has resorted (求助于) to buying a paper from a peer. Writers have styles like fingerprints and after several assignments, I can match a student’s work with his or her name.

Why is learning less important than a higher grade-point average (GPA)(平均成绩点数)? When we’re threatened or sick, we make conditional promises. “If you let me pass math I will …” “Lord, if you get me over this before the big homecoming game I’ll…” Once the situation is behind us, so are the promises. Human nature? Perhaps, but we do use that cliché (陈词滥调) to get us out of uncomfortable bargains.

Six years ago, I took a student before the dean. He had turned in an essay with the vocabulary and sentence structure of PhD thesis (博士毕业论文). Up until that time, both his out-of-class and in-class work were borderline passing.

I questioned the person regarding his essay and he swore that it was the consequence of his hardwork, but he had already had a given sheet of paper so he understood what was asked. He sat one hour, then turned in part of a page of unskilled writing and faulty logic. I confronted him with both the essays. “I promise…, I’m not lying. I swear to you that I wrote the essay. I’m just nervous today.”

The head of the English department agreed with my finding, and the meeting with the dean had the boy’s parents present. After an hour of discussion, touching on eight of the boy’s previous essays and his grade-point average, which indicated he was already on academic probation (留校察看), the dean agreed that the student had plagiarized (剽窃). His parents protested, “He’s only a child” and we instructors were wiser and should be compassionate (有同情心的). College people are not really children and most times would resent being labeled as such… except in this uncomfortable circumstance.
