I required help (serious help) in writing my paper, so I went to find the PhD student to help me by submitting my first draft that I struggled on for 4 days, with the final day culminating with no sleep.
She says my grammatical errors are far "too distracting" (which is true, I really had far too many grammatical errors). She kind of insulted me by asking me to "find a native English speaker" for help... Nevermind about that. I really just left the errors inside without proofreading.
Imagine to my dismay when she tells me I committed plagiarism in my final paragraph "because it is far too good, free of grammatical errors and detached from the main body" that I "could be put forward a disciplinary committee and face expulsion".
I didn't copy from anywhere. I merely did that paragraph on a different day.
I worked so hard for it, and I'm accused. But oh well, at least she gave me lots of tips.
The paper's due Thursday... I've got to get over it and start serious work.

I suppose that accusation was a sweeping one. Plagarism can be confirmed by using some softwares. That's just his/her opinion. But at least you got opinion. Better than none. =^

Take care
