Starting With A Divorce Chapter 108
Chapter 108 Steal the Thesis
“Do you really not know what I’m talking about? Then let me put it more bluntly. Did you write your thesis yourself?” Ainsley
looked straight at Kiera and observed her reaction.
Unfortunately, Kiera did not look at her. She turned around and pretended she needed to get some water. “Of course, I wrote it
by myself. It took me more than a month.”
Ainsley continued to ask, “I have been writing this thesis for half a month, but now you have become the author. A few days ago,
I sent it to ‘Psychological Science‘. It was still under review, then I saw the school announcement. This thesis of yours is the
same as mine Even the title is the same. The funnier thing is, even the references and annotations are exactly the same as mine
I decided on the topic after discussions with Mollie Shouldn’t I find out what is going on?”
Kiera held her glass and looked at Ainsley arrogantly “Ms Easton, even though you are the school’s favorite, even though you
have denounced the Quiz Show and also gotten Mollie here, it does not mean you have the right to slander me The thesis is
submitted by me and also written by me Now, please leave my office.”
Ainsley sneered. It seemed that Kiera would keep denying it. But Ainsley couldn’t figure out one thing. How on earth did Kiera
get the
thesis?
“Since you don’t want to talk about it, let’s meet in court.” Ainsley turned around and was about to leave.
Kiera suddenly stopped her. “You want to sue me for plagiarism? It should be me suing you for plagiarism! You sent my thesis to
‘Psychological Science. I have already reported this thing to Mr. Ford. The school leaders will soon have a meeting. According to
the regulations, you will be fired immediately!”
“Okay, there are no perfect crimes.” Ainsley returned to her office. No matter how Kiera had tampered with the date, there was
one thing she could not manipulate.
The data in the thesis was given to Ainsley by Mollie. The data generated by every psychology institute was so massive that only
the staff could get it. And Ainsley used an expert grading system rather than a domestic model system to build the model.
For every score, she had sent an email to a psychology professor, who might be working in America or not. She still had the
emails
and all the records of how she got the data.
Since Kiera wanted to steal her thesis, she would like to see how Kiera could copy the modeling process.
As expected, the same night, the school leaders held an emergency meeting. Even all the school forums were discussing this
matter.
Some students that Kiera had taught began to put Ainsley down crazily, while some other students spoke up for Ainsley because
of
Mollie’s thing.
While they were arguing heatedly, Ainsley entered the conference room with her notebook and a USB.
In the conference room, the school leaders were sitting together. Raymond was sitting in the first seat with a grim expression,
and Cody also looked like shit,
Ainsley walked in and saw Kiera looking at her arrogantly.
Ainsley had long heard that Raymond and Cody had a quarrel in the office today. It was most likely because of this.
Raymond looked at Ainsley with a solemn expression. “Ms. Page, tell us what happened!”
“Yes, Mr. Ford.” Kiera stood in front of the school leaders. “I wrote a thesis a month ago. This is the thesis. It has been published
and is about to be included in the Journal Academy. But suddenly, Ms. Easton published the same thesis and sent it to
‘Psychological Science‘. The two theses are exactly the same. This morning, she actually came to my office and accused me of
plagiarizing her work. At first, I wanted to just let it slide, but I don’t want to now. I want to sue Ms. Easton. Mr. Ford, according to
the rules, the teacher who plagiarizes should be expelled. This kind of person isn’t qualified to be a teacher.”
Raymond looked at Ainsley with a sullen expression. “Do you have anything to say?”
Ainsley walked towards Kiera and said firmly in front of everyone, ‘Of course! I have a few questions for Kiera.”
“Go ahead!” Kiera’s tone was unfriendly. “May I ask how you decide on the topic of your thesis?”
Kiera spat, “I decided on it after reading a lot of papers by foreign authors and also minutes of many forums.”
Ainsley smiled, “Wrong.”
“Why do you think you can say I am wrong? I can even show you those documents right now.”
Ainsley did not look at her. Instead, she connected the computer to the big screen and pulled up her email exchanges with
Mollie. The first time they discussed the topic was a month ago.
“In fact, the material that you can find should be relatively old. Although the direction is similar, there is a big difference. Mollies
shared the information with me after she attended the forum in Paris. With her permission, I decided on this topic.”
Kiera was obviously a little flustered. “Well, this can’t prove this thesis is yours? I dug into the idea and wrote this thesis on my
own”
Cody’s expression softened a little as he straightened his back.
Ainsley asked again, “Second question, where is your data from?”
She only marked most of the data cited in the thesis. She didn’t put down every step, not even in the annex.
Kiera continued, “I asked my friend to get it from various psychology institutes.”
Kiera did not want to be outdone, so she also connected her computer to the screen and showed everyone the chat with her
friend.
Ainsley opened the annex of Kiera’s thesis and pointed to one line. “Your friend must be very resourceful. He actually can get
Ausubel
Institute’s data?”
People who had no background in psychology wouldn’t know how famous the institute was. People who had written theses on
psychology knew that it was impossible to get Ausubel Institute’s data.
They would share a fraction of their data every year, but none of those data could be used in Ainsley’s study.
People like Cody knew how difficult it was. Mollie was the reason that Ainsley could get the data. She helped Mollie finish the
report.
And Mollie allowed her to use the data.
Ainsley showed everyone relevant emails, which were solid evidence.
Kiera was unwilling to give up. “This can’t prove that I can’t get the Ausubel Institute’s data!”
Ainsley said indifferently, “Then let’s just say you got the data by yourself. The third question, the thesis‘ model is based on the
expert grading method. A complete implementation of the expert grading method requires scores from at least a hundred experts
in the industry. Moreover, your model is huge. How many experts did you get to score? Can you show me the grading system?”
Everyone started to find Kiera suspicious after the first two questions, and Cody even took out his phone to record the
conversation.
Kiera had no other choice but to open her email box. It could be seen that she had not sent many emails, and there were fewer
than a hundred experts in the grading system.
She closed the computer angrily. “My data is lost. This can’t prove that I did not do the work. My thesis is published legally. You
have no right to slander me!”
