Retaking a class & reusing written assignments?

[mrs.b]

Just having to ask is a good sign that your gut is telling you it is wrong.

I agree with this one. Ethics is a variable line that differs from person to person, but if you're questioning it enough to ask strangers on a public form, chances are your moral compass has it at least partially flagged. If you're just looking for a shortcut, you can reuse research and your outline without any violations, even under the strictest of plaigerism policies. You already found articles, books, and so on that were relevant, and the format of the paper can remain the same so long as the wording is not identical. So...pull up some other quotations from the articles, and use the outline to format your paper. Rewriting a paper takes very little time when the front-end work of research and outline is already done. Then it will definitely be original work since you just rewrote it, but you've still saved hours of digging through the library archives and retaking notes.
