Assignment was out of 25. Prof said she’d deduct 10 points if it was between 620 and 649 words (a bit harsh imo). 10 points of the assignment come from whether there’s a “clear tie-in to the assigned article” and there was none 💀 5 points for it being clearly written, and it was not very clearly written 😭
Proud of her !!! At the end of the day the assignment was to reflect on why the topic was important, apply the study to your own experience along with provide alternate interpretations to what the article found. She got a 0 because she offended the person grading her essay, she very clearly complied with the rubric
"steps to ensure no academic harm to the student from the graded assignments" "the instructor has been placed on administrative leave" response? dogshit. quality? horseshit. how a student can disregard a rubric before and after an assignment and still be lauded as correct in this scenario is absurd
“This student didn’t at all do what the rubric said but since they did it for Jesus that means it could be religious discrimination” I’m so tired of babying American Christians. Yeah, you don’t get to cite the Bible just like Jewish Americans don’t get to cite the Torah. And I guarantee this all wouldn’t be happening if said student was Muslim too. OU is a secular institution
They can only ever justify their hatred of trans people if they’re somehow the victims. If they weren’t then their hate would be more apparent than it already is So they have to always act like trans people (1% of the US population) are out posing a threat to Christians (73% of the US population)
Yeah if the university had a problem with the assignment, they could have said something ages ago. Rubrics are available before the assignment is due in like every case imaginable. But “coincidentally” it only becomes a problem when a student fails and then claims it’s due to religious oppression
Prompt says “The best reaction papers illustrate that students have read the assigned materials and engaged in critical thinking about some aspect of the article.” So doing that would get her 11/25 max, given the rest of the criteria on word count and clarity, and she didn’t do that
Did you see the rubric, there’s literally nothing about citing any sources. That wasn’t a requirement. There’s no logical reason why she got a 0, it’s because the person who graded her essay was offended by it. That was the feedback was that it was offensive and she needs empathy, so she gave her a 0
“Can the reader assess whether the student has read the assigned article?” No, it seems like she didn’t read it. “Are the main ideas and thoughts organized into a coherent discussion?” No, there’s circular reasoning and it’s hard to follow “Is the writing clear enough to follow without multiple re-readings?” No
If you don’t cite sources you usually automatically get a 0 by virtue of that being how university works. Some of us are grown up and don’t need to be told this. Even if she had done everything right but forgot to cite sources the 0 would still be justified because that would be literal plagerism. You are literally defending not crediting people
I used to be a teaching major for three years before changing majors. I’ve graded my fair share of papers while student teaching, and also worked with other teachers. Those comments made by both professors are exactly what is expected from educators in a professional setting. Your inability to grasp that is not the fault of the professors, it’s your own limited understanding of how teaching works
University plagiarism policies are never required to be extended on in the rubric. They’re required to be addressed in the Syllabus, and even if they’re not they still apply. You literally have to agree to them to enroll here. If OU does their job she’ll be put on probation for this 🤦♀️
she writes "the bible" or "god says" thats not citation. thats not reference. if i am to quote president FDR, i say "President FDR said in his inaugural address, „The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.“" if i say "FDR said the only thing we ever fear should be fear itself" thats plagiarism
publicizing your own paper where you commit some of the most egregious forms of plagiarism seen and sharing that your teacher did NOT report that but just gave you a zero because you fucked up the rest of the assignment's learning objectives should have you ridiculed and the teacher inspected not for discrimination but for being too goddamn kind
Thanks for clarifying that she paraphrased and summarized, no verses quoted. As per the University of Oklahoma's posted rules in their Student Resources page online, if she paraphrases and indicates it is her interpretation of God's word, it is not plagiarism. What she did was paraphrase and said "God says," which is plagiarism.
See you just quoted and didn't even get the text right. You wrote "author" when it was "writer" and then did not quote the critical part of the sentence - which clarifies that it must indicate it is your writing and interpretation. She claimed God said something, without quote, without clarifying it was her interpretation. That is plagiarism.
The specific Hebrew words (that may have come from any number of versions of the Bible in Hebrew) are not common knowledge, and the translation may have been done imperfectly and/or out of context, which in languages like Hebrew, surrounding contexts may impact specific words' meanings.
She does not clarify it is her interpretation of God's original plan, or quote what this original plan is stated to be. She does not clarify it is her interpretation of it being "how God made us" or quote the original text saying what way that is. She did not clarify if it is her interpretation of if God created women to reflect his beauty and compassion or quote when that was stated.
Again, because she wasn’t using arguments that are direct verses in the bible, but rather her interpretation of the bible, her argument being centered around her faith in God and understanding of the Bible is not plagiarism. Referencing her understanding of the Bible is not plagiarising the Bible. She was also not explicitly told to use empirical evidence or sources, so receiving a 0 because she did not do something that wasn’t listed as a requirement is not truthful
Well that’s completely false, I said that the prompt wasn’t asking if she agreed or disagreed, it asked her to react (etc.) I’ve been consistent in that she disagrees with the author. she doesn’t provide evidence because she wasn’t prompted to. she shouldn’t receive a 0 for not doing so
"Referencing her understanding of the Bible is not plagiarizing the Bible" Except it literally is, as per the University of Oklahoma's rules, when you do not clarify it is your understanding of the text in your paraphrasing. She plagiarized in at least these sections. She did not earn a 1/25 or anything more. She did earn a fail for the entire class and a hearing with the academic board.
But let’s continue. She says the teasing “not necessarily…a problem”. Problematic to say that in a developmental psychology class? Probably. In the beginning, she seems to believe that there is pressure to conform to these norms by acknowledging the teasing that occurs “as a way to enforce gender norms”. If that’s the case, why does she say towards the end that she “do[es] not think men and women are pressured to be more masculine or feminine” (i.e. conform to gender norms)?
Because of her understanding and interpretation of what the Bible says about God. she for sure could’ve been less lazy and actually cited verses, but she didn’t plagiarize the Bible. I don’t think that’s really a thing to “plagiarize” holy books… they’re completely different than a normal book or textbook or article, which is why the instructor didn’t mention plagiarism in their feedback to her but only a lack of empirical evidence
Finally, “God does not view women as less significant than men” DEFINITELY needs a source, because that seems to contradict Leviticus 27 (NKJV, but NIV says the same or similar). So it doesn’t seem like God views them as equally significant, unless she wants to argue otherwise (and she should explain why)
Nope. They just said it at the beginning of class in middle and high school. By the time I came to college it was “read the academic integrity policy” and sometimes they stated which style to use. All of the major styles require you to reference the name of the translation, the book, and the verse
Yes if you’re quoting the Bible you’re required to provide the citation for it. She didn’t quote it, honestly she didn’t plagiarize the Bible, and the instructors didn’t even say anything about plagiarism. She wasn’t required anywhere in the prompt or rubric to provide her own sources because the prompt was to respond to and reflect on the given material, for a lack of sources to be the main reason for her getting a 0 deserves to be investigated
she didnt quote, she didnt specify. just words coming from somewhere. when she states it is her opinion on eliminating gender, that does not also apply for the 20 times she DOES NOT specify she is the one rewording the bible. if you took from my paper, reworded it, and didnt say you reworded it, thats academic malpractice, you plagiarized, you fail.
however, people go and make interpretations of the constitution saying the second amendment guarantees their right to own nine hundred nukes for self defense against the government. if the supreme court said the constitution said that, never clarifying it was their interpretation, it would be wrong and it would be plagiarism, misrepresenting the original text
That’s the entire purpose of the class and the field. She needs to provide evidence. I can’t believe we’re arguing over whether she can say “well I disagree because I think god did this for a reason and promoting otherwise is demonic” and the instructor has to give her any sort of credit
“The best reaction papers illustrate that students have read the assigned materials and engaged in critical thinking about some aspect of the article.” She did not. That’s why she got a 0. That, the argument is nonsensical and flawed, there’s no evidence (which is definitely required for a psych class when you’re reflecting on a research paper), and she called the authors of the study and those that agree with them “demonic” (ad hominem, appeal to religion)
Everyone is allowed to have their own beliefs and opinions. She has a right to keep speaking about what she believes in. This isn’t about the value of what she believes in. Teacher’s set forth standards. You as a student must meet them to achieve a certain grade. If you don’t know something it’s on you to clarify with a professor. In college you’re responsible for your education.
it was an opinion piece, her “incorrectly” citing the basis for her own opinions and personal beliefs is not justification for a 0, especially when requirements of the essay were fulfilled. She didn’t plagiarize the Bible lol do you not hear how ridiculous that sounds. Taking a students essay so personally that you give them a 0 is ridiculous, especially in this case because the grade she deserved wasn’t that much better !!! it was clearly just to spite her
