Answer (Choose 1 answer)
It's 4.30pm, and Mary has just submitted her essay for Introduction to Microbiology online. She feels pretty confident she did well. She spent a lot of time researching, and was able to provide good evidence for most of her claims. However, as she is closing down her computer she realizes that she accidentally submitted her draft version, which is missing many of her in-text and end-of-text references for her assignment. The online form won't let her submit the essay again.
Mary is very concerned that this will be counted as plagiarism.
What should Mary do?
A. Email her lecturer immediately with the final version of her essay attached, give a brief explanation and apologize.
B. Wait until the next day when she can go and see her lecturer.
C. Nothing, it isn't a big deal.
D. Email her lecturer immediately, explain what happened and apologize for the mix-up but don't attach the final version.
E. Get advice from student services.
