Apparently, lame plagiarism excuses are universal.  The professor teaching the class on vampires that I’m taking was quite annoyed yesterday.  One of the part time teachers on campus had tried to teach a class that followed a very similar outline, including the same set of very obscure sources.  One of them was a movie called “The Addiction”, which isn’t even available in the USA. It turns out that she had taken the class before.  My professor even got the “but it’s a compliment!” and “I thought you weren’t teaching it anymore” excuses.  You would think they could be a little more creative.  And no, finding something unusual to steal, like a class syllabus,  doesn't count.
