I have a story about plagiarism.

It was during one of the first assignments of an infamous class I took during my bachelors. For context, the course was in Danish, but it was optional whether the hand-in, was in Danish Or English.

My group had written our assignment in English and had handed it in to the (public) repository.

The funny thing about this course was its structure, each group had to write a assignment, and then peer review two other assignments. This was done to take some load of the professors, as well as teach the students about collaborating on a long running project.

The first peer-review we had, was an exact copy of our own hand-in, though translated to Danish. it was quite unfortunate, I believe they got off with only a remark. But it was quite an experience to review your own work, plagiarized to that extend. Especially as it was in the beginning of the semester.
