Find me much of anything that ISN'T derivative. I'm reminded of the old chestnut, "If you steal from one author it's plagiarism; if you steal from many it's research." Same applies to design (or most anything else you can think of). It sounds like this student's biggest problem is laziness. I suggest someone turn him on to a career in I.T.
