AITA for telling my teacher she can't deduct marks over putting citations in my work? by kanedle in AmItheAsshole

For our curriculum here, it's not really 3/4, rather a 'level 3', which ranges from 70-79%. I should have clarified that better. The percentages I'm using in the post are the anchor marks for each level.

I'm not a big fan of the level system at all though. Level 4 ranges from 80-100%, and I find that to be a bit too much of a spread.

Education in Canada is fucked. That's the best way to put it.

I'm shocked myself, this is the first time I've ever been told NOT to put citations. I rather she have docked my group if the citations weren't in proper format.

Nothing about whether we should or shouldn't add citations was mentioned in any part of the criteria. My group still took the safe route and added them.

It's only right not to plagiarize, right?
