Take advantage of it and tell them that you forgot or do not know how to do inbody citation.

damn sorry to hear that. not to scare you, but this could be a serious issue. someone really close to me was in the exact situation you are in. she unknowingly failed to cite ONE sentence in a paper and her professor caught it; the sentence wasn't a major part of her argument or thesis, more ofjust a space filler. although she had a good rapport with the school dean, she ended up being suspended for a semester. it was definitely a tough lessonlearned, but in the long run, it didn't affect her transcript or post-grad career options. i mean this is likely a worst-case scenario, seeing as it wasnothing egregious like copying an entire essay off the internet or cheating on a test, which could end up a lot worse. good luck my dude; just be honest withyour professor and tell him/her that you really didn't know that you may have copied it without proper citation. i was always scared about this kind ofsituation when i was going through my undergrad years. i think having your professors grade your papers is FAR FAR worse/more dangerous than having your GSIor TA read it.Originally Posted by davidisgodly
Did a paper on John Stuart Mill - Utilitarianism and What the bleep!?!??!?!?!?!?
Dear David,
In grading your fourth paper on Mill, I have found a sentence which is not cited but which is identical to a sentence on an internet website. I am trying to figure out how it got into your paper, and I am wondering if you may have used some outside source for your paper which you forgot to cite or if there is some other explanation. If you have any info which could shed light on this, please email me, or, if you would rather stop by my office, you can let me know what time you are available in the afternoon on Tuesday or Wednesday.
Best,
Prof. Rice
I DON"T EVEN REMEMBER STEALING. HOW CAN I EXPLAIN???????? I DON'T TYPICALLY TAKE SENTENCES FROM ONLINE, MAYBE THIS SLIPPED MY MIND, BUT I AM MUCH MORE CAREFUL THAN THAT.

Offer up the box.
No, you "sonned" yourself. Those "unnecessary" commas equal correct grammar.Originally Posted by funkyfreshfelix
Doesn't matter if you missed a sentence. What you should be worrying about is helping out your so called professor with grammar.
SMH at all those uneccessary commas. I'm only a high school senior and i'd son him. Terrible.
