Economics class this time!

andysocialOK, so I've been harassing my English classmates on LJ for the past week, but they're actually looking good this week. We're finally turning in assignments that are expected to be structured and formatted according to the MLA style, and so far (three of us have completed the assignment that is due today) it's looking reasonable.
Now, my Economics class is another story. One of the students has posted his reply to the latest assignment (also due today), and at the end says, "I want to point out that I took this answer from the following URL" as if that makes it ok to plagiarise the entirety of his assignment. Is there some new rule in college that makes it ok to just take an entire doctoral thesis and post it as your own? I was reading through this entry and thought, "Wow, someone actually put some time and effort into this lame class. How amazing." And then, I came upon that final statement.
I'm a fiddler crab, it's fiddler crab season!
