Key word is "copyrighted". Student papers rarely, if ever, qualify.

If you're going to publicly accuse a college professor by name of plagiarism you might at least give some evidence beyond just a link to his book. Is your paper somewhere we can see it?

I liked this professor and learned much from him. I apologize if my words have come across as a charge of plagiarism. My ego was slightly bruised when the book came out, as I thought a few words of acknowledgement might be a boost to any student. He told the same story I did, followed some of my leads, but I do not claim he copied any of my words. I assumed that undergraduate papers are fair game for use by professors. I didn’t think his use of some of my research was out of the ordinary. My paper of course never appeared anywhere, and I regret if I raise this as a charge of plagiarism.
