Latihan TOEFL Listening 14: Academic Integrity Meeting

Ini transkrip percakapan atau kuliah untuk latihan listening. Coba pahami isinya, lalu jawab 10 soal di bawah.

Advisor: Thanks for coming in. As I mentioned in my email, the writing in your last essay closely matched a source that wasn't cited, so I wanted to talk with you before deciding how to proceed.

Student: I was really worried when I got that email. I think I understand what happened — I was taking notes from an article and I must have copied a few sentences directly without realizing it, since I didn't put quotation marks around them in my notes.

Advisor: That's a common way this happens, and I appreciate you being upfront about it. Because it seems like carelessness rather than intentional copying, and because you don't have any prior incidents, I'm going to treat this as a teaching moment rather than referring it to the academic integrity board.

Student: That's a huge relief. What happens next?

Advisor: You'll need to revise the passage in your own words and resubmit it, and I'll dock a few points for the citation issue itself. I'd also recommend using a plagiarism-checking tool before you submit future assignments, just to catch anything like this before it becomes a problem.

Student: I'll definitely do that. Is there a specific deadline for the revision?

Advisor: Let's say one week from today. That should give you enough time without falling behind on your other coursework.
