None of Pratt's excuses or the excuses offered up on this forum would wash if he was caught plagarizing at UBC....maybe at SFU
Imagine telling a prof It was a saturday and I wanted to get out of the library...wouldnt go over too well.
Professionals in his industry dont have many standards to uphold but plagarism is one of them. The team 1040 should can him.
