The Things You Find While Doing Online Research
I was researching an assignment online and came across an assignment sheet that was, word for word, what my prof had put on canvas as our assignment guide/requirements/topic. The one online was from York University and by someone else. I'm not sure if that's unethical on the part of my prof, or someone else, but it does seem strange. Does this seem strange to anyone else?

Not to mention, the course that the matching assignment sheet belonged to is a 3rd year course and it was used for a first year course at SFU. I find that interesting because the topics are way too open ended for a first year course.
