Yikes! 3rd year course!

Are you one of the 3rd year-ers? You should have known better

I thought this was first course / first year [rolleyes]

I'm just going in to my 3rd year at university (college for you state-side)... I knew about plagiarism rules & proper citing when I was about 12 years old lol... although that was probably because my mother's a lecturer at the local university, drilled it in to me & I remember her searching google for copy-and-paste-ers haha.

Defiantly should have known better for sure! (I'm 4th year

) This was the first assignment and it was easy, so I didn't give it any time really. Obviously I overlooked citing my Java logo (which, funnily enough, was added last minute for some flare). Doesn't justify my error, I know, but had I spent the time on it that I would on, say for example, my C++ assignments I would have been more particular.

Ah well, I guess it's all been done now. You guys are right though. I won't forget this! Still wish he would have told us before submitting it to the AIO.

I know I would have extended that courtesy to any student, even if I was going to go ahead with the case. Just nice to know what you did wrong, which we had to pry out of him.
