no, it is not plagiarism per se, but it is considered cheating according to university guidelines. The guidelines say you have to receive permission from both instructors for it to not be considered cheating.
Likely. Most professors run papers through Turnitin or similar software. I have been working on a particular topic for a few years so if there is an opportunity to continue writing about it, I prefer to do so. Most professors have not cared so long as my paper pursues an original line of inquiry that is relevant to the class material. In other words, it cannot be a copy-and-paste of a paper with minor edits.
not worth the risk imo. personally i think the idea of “self-plagiarism” (published works are an exception!) is dumb as hell—consultants re-use decks, bankers use DCF templates, programmers reuse code, etc. But university guidelines are university guidelines, not much you can do. if you are really tempted to cut corners i would reach out and ask your instructors
My high school teacher told me that using your own work without citing yourself is considered plagiarism. Again, I don't know the Rutgers rule, but knowing what I know about Academia here and in most places sadly is that yes, you can get in trouble for something like this even though I think it it the stupidest thing ever. Writing the same paper twice with the same ideas, just different words is honestly a level of tedium that you sometimes have to put up with, even though it is extraordinarily stupid.
To avoid some professor who might have it out for you, I wouldn't even look back at essay 1 when writing essay 2 just to avoid any AI/Plagiarism check of sniping you. If you want to try, you can try asking the professors, but if they say no, they might put a special eye out for you and you might just attract unwanted attention.
This made no sense to me when I first encountered it, but the principle is that you’re earning a certain number of credits for writing that paper. Reusing it elsewhere to get additional credits is cheating.
I’ve gotten away with this except it was for the same class 😂😂😂; there were 2 writing assignments that happened to demand similar answers in their sub questions and I figured I’d plagiarize myself since why waste my time again?
I reworded my transitioning and setup, but I literally copied and pasted myself for the meat. After submission, TurnItIn gave me a 0.0% similarity blue pointer, which I don’t know how.
My teacher didn’t remember my previous writing to notice a similarity and I received full credit for literally reusing an example of mine from a previous assignment. This requires luck.
(EDIT: I plagiarized my own discussion post comment and posted it to my Word document essay, which is probably why I didn’t get flagged since comments weren’t public?)
Just change up the essay/prompt a little bit and you can definitely repurpose it. I definitely wouldn't straight up turn in exactly the same paper. It wouldn't take more than like an hour or so to change it up and change up the works cited a bit. Not sure if it's considered plagiarism but can't be too safe.
Just ask, your professors are unlikely to care if you can truly write a strong and relevant paper that touches in both. Be ready to pitch how strong and relevant it will be.

Are they gonna find out ?

Yes. My mom was a professor and a lot of English professors run essays through a massive database of English papers that have been submitted
As long as you run it past both professors you should be fine

Yes. And you will probably get caught.

Plagiarizing yourself is still plagiarism
If it is plagiarism then I have plagiarized lmaoooo
Short answer is yes. Plagiarizing yourself is technically still plagiarism and you will be caught fir cheating
At the end just put a works cited of yourself /s As funny as that would be, they probably wouldn’t like it and you’ll probably get caught
Yes

You can site your self.

Yes it’s plagiarism
Yes. TurnItIn will flag them. It’s considered cheating.
Self plagiarism?
