Fusilar un trabajo académico

[ROBINDESBOIS]

Cuando tenemos que redactar una memoria, una tesis etc.. no tenemos tiempo, le pedimos a un amigo la del año anterior, la fusilamos y hacemos una parecida pero no igual porque cambiamos cosas, en español decimos fusilar. COmo se diría en inglés?

Copying, or plagiarizing, someone else's work and the various ways to do it, is described here (http://www.sis.pitt.edu/~mbsclass/plagarism/what_is_plagiarism.htm). I think what you're describing is called camoflauge in the linked article.

[ROBINDESBOIS]

I think you´re right.

Copy, plagarize, steal, and rip off, are all valid translations for fusilar, which is also used in Mexico, by the way.
