Reusing Papers in a College Class. Anonymous 2016-09-22 19:02:34 Post No. 17595809 [Report]

I've got an English Comp course this semester, and the professor has us learning how to construct argumentative research papers. I've already done this in two separate courses at a prior university (one in an english course, and another in a political science course). I've been really trying to pour the majority of my time into a Math course that is required to get into the major I want, so I was wondering how ethical it would be to revise and resubmit one of the papers I used for my previous courses. I already understand the lesson that she is trying to teach, (how to construct an argument and properly use APA formatting), and I really could use the extra time focusing on Math. But it feels wrong. Should I bite the bullet and do a new paper? Would it be wrong to reuse it? Or should I spend my time on my math prerequisite?

(The paper I'm thinking of using was only submitted through paper and was given back. I don't believe it has been uploaded to any databases.)

Bite the bullet and write the paper. If you get busted, you're looking at an automatic F and academic probation, for a start.

Also, for the record, when I was an adjunct teaching graduate students I turned all of the papers I collected over to a secretary to scan, convert to pdf, and run against two databases.

This. It is possible to plagiarize yourself. The only way this would fly is if you got written permission from both your previous professor and your current professor.

Even then, theres a good chance the university has a policy against it.

Yeah, I was just listing the only possible way it could be allowed.

Re-use the paper, just add "2nd Edition" to the title along with some minor revisions.

It's the academic thing to do.

OP here. The papers were graded and handed back to us while we took our final. (It was a very small class)
