It’s an interesting thing to read about! I love seeing both sides of the argument and looking at where everyone comes from. I highly recommend looking into it if that’s something that interests you

A junior psych major was assigned a psych article on the way bullying and gender identity impact mental health. She handed in a 650 wd essay that doesn’t reference the article at all and had no citations, in which she states her own opinions that 1) a little bit of “teasing” is ok to reinforce “natural” gender roles and 2) believing that there are more than two genders is “demonic”. I’m not directly quoting but those are the words she used. She references the Bible but made no actual citations.

The TA who was teaching the course (who is trans) gave the paper a 0/25 with a very clear explanation as to why - she stated that the student could express her opinions but that she needed to actually reference the article and provide better evidence to make an informed, academic opinion. The faculty professor supported the TA’s decision, and then the student went to TPUSA to make it public. IMO, it was an intentional set up to gain publicity. She’s a junior, she should know better.

But since then the university has placed the TA on unpaid leave

The student wrote somewhere around 700 words and the word count was not mentioned in the professors critique.

Maybe a 15%

It has been graded by dozens of profs online and even ignoring the automatic word count fail its unanimously agreed the paper would score at absolute most a 20% aka still failing

She followed the word count just fine? Minimum 650 words and she submitted 750

At my school, providing 0 citations is an automatic 0

Yep. 742 words. Loud and wrong.

It barely fit 2 pages, and if your whole reasoning is the word count alone there are other reasons it earned a failing grade

It was a bad paper, I agree with a failing grade but you must also agree a dead zero shows some kind of bias. Page count was not a requirement. She referenced things and did not properly cite them, that is points off. She met the word requirement, that earns points.

I can get down with a 50% or even a 15%, but the paper that she wrote was not insanely out there when it came to meeting the requirements. It is wild that she got a ZERO, though.

She does not cite the article she’s meant to be responding to once, there’s no evidence that she even read the article. I used page count as an estimation of word count because I’ve been in a writing heavy field for years. She makes very vague references, no quotes, no citations, no evidence aside from “the Bible says [her belief]”. As a junior in psychology she displays a stunning lack of understanding for the sources and evidence required for this assignment. ChatGPT would’ve done a better job

Dude did you report the correct fucking link? lol anyway. To anyone wondering where it went I’d responded with a link that actually worked to the same article hosted through yahoo news, it was taken down maybe for having her name included but there was no actual guard rail given as to why it was removed

Yes lets cite an instagram acc with political bias 💀

Yeah, she references things but does not cite them. References the bible, “In Genesis, it says-“ but does not actually cite where in Genesis in fact, what she said about Genesis is not actually really in there. Barely referenced, and not properly cited. Points off. This reaction paper (meant to be primarily opinions based) does roughly what was needed to be done minus the fact that she did not cite sources (which, I said) and also wrote it very poorly.

Lack of citations is plagiarism which is a zero at any school I've ever heard of and even if it wasn't, she does not reference the article she was meant to respond to nor does she actually address the question asked, she is off topic and academically out of line

Anonymous #2 2w

I’m citing the instagram account that posted the entire paper, with notes from her professor who graded it and the other professor for the course who agreed with the grade, and the requirements she was meant to follow. Which, just so happens to have a biased caption (which i do not agree with), that is free to view, and also, easier to look up. ;)

Tpusa is not a reliable source :)

Tbh, probably not a zero in oklahoma, with it being ranked 48th or less in education among the US lol. Anywho, the professor who graded it did not say she was getting a zero due to lack of citations therefore plagiarism. She at least partially answered the question, she could have gotten some points. She was not off topic and a flat zero is petty.

Omg yess finally someone with a brain. I feel like no one has been logical about this like, a bad grade, YES! It's a bad paper, but a 0 means something more. I'm a total lefty and I disagree with just about everything she said but it didn't deserve a zero. A 50% is a little high maybe but anything that is an F but not a zero makes more sense.

Real. Either this prof was biased or an extremely harsh grader, either way I don’t like it lol. I mean, NO points? For completing the assignment? That follows the word count? That has opinions in it? That at least partly completes the assignment? Who do you think you are!! #powertrip

Idk I think in many of my classes not citing properly is an automatic 0 and a referral for academic dishonesty

She plagiarized in an academic paper by not proving sources as a 3rd year college student….

Also I do not believe most of the people who selected student actually read the paper. My grandfather tried to say the student was in the right until I made him read the paper out loud.
