I just would like to know what you would do in this in situation.
a close friend of mine failed one of her assignments for uni and I passed it, she was asking for help with the resubmission so I sent her mine to look at and see if that helped. She appriciated this and said it was helpful.
So friday I get a phone call from her to say that she has been pulled up over plagiarism in her essay and after going back through it has found 6 sentences identical in one section that she copied, and then a few other lines elsewhere, she apologised for copying me and was rather upset. Now at this time I was visiting my mum in the hospital as she had been rushed in that morning. She asked me to lie for her to help her out and I jsut wanted her off the phone I said we would sort something out.
She then text me later saying that she has been pulled up for copying from a book not my work so she would be ok.
But I got annoyed at this and didn't reply as the point is she admitted copying from me, but is going to get away with it and that makes me uncomfortable as I worked hard on my essay. I have spoken to my personal tutor in uni without mentioning names and she said I have two choices make a formal complaint and take it further or just leave it how it is.
What would you do?
