A friend comes to you and says, “Mr. Johnson gave me an F on my paper and says I copied it, but I didn’t! I showed him the bibliography and the sources, but he doesn’t believe me! I’m going to drop the class.” Write a response that reflects the characteristics of effective responses.
He gave you an F! That's crazy. I don't believe that you copied but I don't know how you could change his mind. Maybe if you confront him gently he might open up.
