re: Know anyone who was caught cheating on college exam? LSU or elsewhere.

I was accused of plagiarizing on an essay at LSU back in 03 or 04. Professor sent me an email about it and I had to go plead my case with the dean of students or something. They gave me an incomplete since it was a final project. Once I got before the dean, I cited my sources and resources I used to make my point, they waived punishment and the dean of that program graded my essay instead of the professor because apparently she accused several students of it because we had just a couple sentences similar she found online. My opening paragraph was close to something she found on Google, and one of my viewpoints was very similar since it was dealing with the same subject. But I cited everything properly and didn't even see the source she used until after getting the email.
