Fair enough, I didn't get that impression to start with and that does make things better from your angle. If you can explain and show that it was only one guy in your group responsible, and you weren't aware of this and didn't have anything to do with it, you might be able to get that single guy's mark knocked down and out without affecting yours too much (i.e. you could request that you were marked for your individual contribution rather than as a whole group.)an ya it was a group effort type paper, we each did 2 pages an put it together to get 6 pages for the paper
Is the teacher aware of the format the group work took, i.e. that the plagarised part was only submitted by one person?
