| Oct 20 at 3:14 | comment | added | Ayla R BikerMCOldLady | This was my 3rd masters so I've never had any prof use exactly what I submitted before. Others have taken ideas and excerpts from my previous ones but never copied word from word like this time. The course name will be my thesis title exactly and it was very unique and specific. It just seems odd that she had to use specific titles and when I heard her last year is next year because of her issues with the dean, due to copyright infringement made me want to ensure my work is "safe". I don't care about the course itself tho | |
| Oct 20 at 3:03 | comment | added | Wolfgang Bangerth | @AylaRBikerMCOldLady You have the copyright of the text of your thesis. You don't own the ideas any more. If owning the ideas was your goal, publishing them was the right direction. | |
| Oct 20 at 2:47 | comment | added | Ayla R BikerMCOldLady | I'm not "upset" but I also want to ensure that there's no issues in the future for copyrights. She's a very difficult person and She's already in trouble with the Dean for copyright infringement. I don't want surprises when it comes to that | |

| Oct 19 at 19:14 | comment | added | Ayla R BikerMCOldLady | The thesis was handed into the university almost 2 years ago. The professor that oversaw the thesis called me last week and told me she created a new course completely based on my thesis. There were no preliminaries done prior. The course name is the name of my thesis exactly. | |
| Oct 18 at 5:02 | comment | added | Jochen Glueck | Upvoted. I was wondering a bit about the first sentence though in your answer, though. I guess that by saying "completely based on my thesis" OP just means that the course focusses on the topic and results from the thesis. Presumably, the course will also teach many preliminaries that were developed long before the thesis, so I don't think there's a contradiction here. | |
