  • Origins: This is one of several similar legends involving students who try to slip one over on instructors by submitting someone else's papers (such as The Old Man and the 'C' and Moby Nicked) but are caught when the instructors recognize the works. Given that the instructors in these legends always good-naturedly hand out passing grades to students who are clearly violating university rules against cheating, these tales might be considered more wish fulfillment fantasies (something along the lines of kind-hearted professor remembers how difficult college was for him and takes pity) than cautionary tales warning against the perils of plagiarism. Sightings: In a 1987 episode of the Canadian television series Degrassi Junior High (episode titled The Experiment), Yick tries to improve his grades by turning in old term papers written by Arthur's sister, Stephanie Kaye. He's given higher grades than Stephanie received for the same papers but is eventually exposed for submitting someone else's work. (en)
