<p>I agree that re-use of ones own work in neither wrong or nefarious outside academia. In scientific research it is the norm as long as one references ones earlier work clearly.</p>
<p>But yes within the walls and ivory towers of academia it is understood to be an intellectually dishonest undertaking…and since its students we are talking about then its academic rules that apply…when in Rome, and all that. :)</p>
