Wow! Please could you tell me how lecturers become professors? Please I really, really, seriously want to know. So that I don't display my ignorance anymore.

gossipatrol:


Really? Lmao. I can't stop laughing. My grandfather is a professor, so I know what am saying... but u are funny sha! How do you think lecturers become professors?

Lmao

you know since I've been exposed to them and I know They get there by writing books and publishing articles in journals most times through bribes but if your grandfather is a professor then you're probably right or maybe they've stopped using Papa's method

ModiKen:


Look up the meaning of plagiarism its even worse than examination malpractice. That Professor ought to be in jail!

an act or instance of using or closely imitating the language and thoughts of another author without authorization and the representation of that author's work as one's own, as by not crediting the original author:




Now tell me how this is exam malpractice.

Unical is not the only uni offering anti-corruption course. I also did studies in anti-corruption in UNIBEN at the PG level.
For plagiarism, its a big offence. How lazy or stingy is that prof not to run plagiarism test on the article or book.

Most Nigerian book authors mostly are lazy writers. They will just get a foreign book, remove the cover page and put their name, thereafter, they start selling it for students.

If ur fada na lecturer pls warn him of plagiarism and student extortion.

I need 3 trustworthy and ethically upright persons to join me so we can subscribe to a better plagiarism checker called grammarly. Contact me through gp6liveth4ever@yahoo.com

So plagiarism is now equivalent to examination malpractices?

It is cheating.

Now I know I owe my supervisor a big thanks. He won't overlook a plagiarised line. Now, just like sexual urge, I always feel the urge to reference my sources.

Plagiarism does not equate examination malpractice; they are siblings of the same academic vices. I think we can say plagiarism is stealing, while exam malpractice is cheating. I believe if you can differentiate between stealing and cheating, you will grab the distinction between plagiarism and examination malpractice.

I knew, that's why I asked the question but many people here erroneously jumped to the conclusion that I didn't know the meaning.

In other words, plagiarism means academic theft.

So tell me, what do u think happens to those who steal from others (i.e thieves) according to our justice system?

A professor for that matter,knowing fully well that plagiarism is an academic offence
if he/she does that,what does he/she expect from his/her students
