to cheat at writing an honor code?
Students Plagiarized Honor Code
This is just funny:
Their goal was an honor code that discouraged cheating and plagiarizing.
However, the wording in a draft by students at the University of Texas at San Antonio appears to match another school’s code — without proper attribution.
The student currently in charge of the honor code project said it was an oversight, but cheating experts say it illustrates a sloppiness among Internet-era students who don’t know how to cite sources properly and think of their computers as cut-and-paste machines.

If you do not know how to give credit to another person for their words it is still plagiarizing! Obviously, everybody (or at least I thought so) would know that cutting and pasting words from an internet source is cheating unless you cite the source and give the author credit! This is absolutely hilarious that this person who copied the honor code felt that he/she could get away with it!
