Mock story
During the last meeting of Department of Internal Literature Affairs (DILA) held in NAB 203, five top AUBG detectives publicly discussed their latest discoveries about criminal actions at AUBG community.
According to DILA Intelligence reports, a criminal group under the pseudonym Plagiyatori has recently been active at AUBG. The reports suggest that Plagiyatori is a student group involved in plagiarizing their papers using the latest copy/paste tactics.
Detectives discussed a serious crisis AUBG professors face with this ever-growing group of student criminals. DILA detectives shared their latest discoveries in order to warn students that criminals at AUBG will not be tolerated anymore.
Macho Kohenov opened the session with a short movie about plagiarism he found on Youtube.com. Kohenov was working undercover as an AUBG Literature professor for several years and although he spent all that time facing students’ criminal actions, he said he still feels “really violated” every time a student turns in a plagiarized paper.
Special agent Holly Work Sirova gave an enlightening speech about students who are not really aware they are committing a crime by copy/pasting other people’s work. She showed great understanding for AUBGers who are actually confused and do not know how to be original and write their own papers, without engaging in underground activities.
The third item on the meeting agenda was showing special detector software to the audience, called turnyourselfin.com. Unfortunately, Kohenov was not able to open the program because he forgot his access code while trying to arrest some AUBGers, whom he had lured into playing poker in his grandma’s basement.
The culmination of the evening came when detective Roberto Might explained how he caught a student criminal using some detective tactics “even Sherlock Holms would not think of.” Might explained that he followed the website sources the student listed in the paper and found out that the information the student gave in the paper did not correspond with the one that could be found on those websites. He shared with the audience that the student criminal was so scared of him that he did not even dare to for the interrogation in Might’s office.
During the rest of the meeting Darkus Hien, special agent from Germany, discussed his feeling of sadness and insecurity when he knows, but cannot prove, that a student plagiarized a paper. Other detectives showed great compassion for Hien’s feelings.
Dincho Sulivanov, the shadow man, creme de la crème of the AUBG intelligence agency, did not want to reveal any information about Plagiyatori. He expressed his concerns about students who are, if paid, eager to skip university and start their adult life without having experienced all the lack of professors, empty schedules, fast Internet connection, and the friendly administration that AUBG offers.
The ten students in the audience were inspired by the braveness and intellect of those peers who have to confront these agents on a day–to-day basis. Few of the students said their secret desire is to ultimately join the Plagiyatori. They shared with the reporter that they have been using copy/paste tactics on their own for a while now, and that they feel ready to be officially granted membership for all their achievements.
