Students do make mistakes that make professors pull their hair out.
One of them is making the rounds on Reddit - and makes people around the world smile.
Let's be honest: we all make mistakes.
And as a first-year student at university, you can make one or two missteps *, be it with housework, in dealing with the professor or in the lecture.
That can be pretty embarrassing, like this faux pas of a student who just makes the network smile.
Question on Reddit is aimed at college professors
In a thread on Reddit, lecturers were asked which
mistakes their students made
that
stuck in their minds
.
True to the motto: How did he or she make it to university in the first place ..?
The lecturers who were addressed complained particularly often that students do not take citation in their work so carefully.

One student in particular took it to extremes.
For example, a user named “Salem Scout” reported on a student whom he supervised as a lecturer in the writing workshop at his university.
“In the bibliography of her work, she always named her mother as the source.”
He tried to teach her that this was not entirely correct from a scientific point of view.
But all she said was that her mother had done the research and just passed everything on to her.
Apparently she had previously quoted her mother on other work.
Citing questionable sources can happen, but using your own family members as a source is more than unusual.
Other Reddit users who liked the post more than 6,000 times thought so too.
