I did poorly, got an A instead of A+ as I bombed the final

awesome stories everyone. I just remembered a story about the importance of who the student is. I wrote an essay for grade 12 law class which I got a really good mark in. Next year my brother plagiarized my essay (read printed my essay with his name and handed it in) but got a lower mark. So, teachers and professors can be really biased

tsk tsk… not biased… subjective - and nothing wrong with that - who is to say that in the second offering of that same course, the class content was a little different and hence the teacher’s expectations weren’t met with the old essay - it’s also quite possible that the teacher was on to your brother and if the teacher felt it was plagiarized but didn’t want to confront the student, a lower grade was awarded. Even though I don’t agree with this tactic, I know some profs who practice it just because they don’t have time to get involved in plagiarism proceedings.
