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

I had a professor try to bring my up on plagiarism charges freshman year at LSU for have similar sentence structure to something from some book related to my topic.

I told the guy it's writing a book report about David Koresh and the Branch Davidians. How many ways can you recount that history to where it's not similar?

I did not put a footnote on the sentence to properly credit the author- not on a unique idea either mind you.

I had to end up rewriting the entire paper.
