It is said that the president of Hebei university copied other people's articles for his Ph.D thesis. I have heard such news for a long time. Before I went to the laboratory, once I had a talk with a Ph.D advisor who got his Ph.D in MIT. His major was plasma. He told me it was NOT rare that many teachers copied other people's academic achievements. And it also existed in Tsinghua. I was shocked then, because I thought it may be true in not-so-good universities, but it was impossible for Tsinghua. Just a few days ago, I went for a doctor forum. I heard a professor, who was Yang Zhenning's student, had left our department for Michigen State University. Before leaving, he gave a talk. And he said, "You could keep silent, but if you speak, please don't give FALSE speech". It is obvious that he wanted to say that there was something bad happened, that was about academics. I don't like such things. I promise I won't do that. It is not your work. Why do you copy other people's work? That's rediculous. |
