So did you persuade him that it was your original work?
i sent him that strongly-worded e-mail, and i got a response back saying that if i want to "discuss this matter further", i should arrive at his office next morning, with every single assignment that we did this semester (probably to compare them with my research paper)
thing is, i said all that i needed to say
i'm not really interested in why he thought i copied my work--more that i didn't, period
so i don't know if i'm gonna bother, if there's not gonna be any consequences
I think you should especially since in college (in Georgia) you can be expelled for plagiarism.
Also here's a site to check for it to see if he's legit checking or not just post your paper there and it will check it.
