Hey /lit/, how do you respond to an accusation of plagiarism?

After turning in a half-baked research paper abstract for grading, my English professor accused me of plagiarizing and slapped a zero on the assignment. It's is a first for me, and I have no idea how to approach this. What do?

Did he provide proofs

Checking for this kind of thing is simple for professors. It would probably be easy for him to provide proof.

OP you blew this one- hopefully your grade is enough to cushion the fall, if not you hopefully have enough time to mend it.

Outside my thesis not being especially clear and specific, nope. I did formulate the thing on a late night homework binge, but I guess it was just vague enough to trigger something.

That's the unfortunate thing, we've had only a handful of graded work and this paper is so heavily weighted it dropped me significantly.

I just hope whatever algorithm their plagiarism checker uses doesn't trigger on the final draft, but if it hit on an hour of typing bullshit I'm not optimistic.

But if you didn't plagiarize, why are you letting him get away with that? Even if it was a shitty paper, your teacher is supposed to tell you what and where and from where the plagiarized passage is, so that at least you know what you did wrong.

You should talk to him, otherwise say it is baseless accusation until he provides proof.

How fucking helpless are you, to need the users of a Chinese cartoon imageboard to tell you how to defend yourself? You're too stupid to write your own papers, so your professor is probably right. Just hang yourself

With how you've reacted, or lack thereof, one is safe to assume that you willingly took a risk when writing your paper.

What was it that you wrote (and in what way) that would trigger a professor to believe, and accuse you of plagiarism?
