Pariah Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 I have a student who thinks I'm the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal. As long as she doesn't make eye contact, she thinks I can't see her copying answers from the key while we're correcting homework in class.

I'm quite fond of the "additional note on cheating from an English professor" at the bottom of the page. It's so true, especially at the high school level. Do students think we really can't tell the difference between something written by a professional in the field and something written by a student who's never had the subject before?

Cancer Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 I did have the experience once of busting someone after they submitted a paper in my class that they'd downloaded off schoolsucks.com. There was a firewood shortage at the time, sadly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 Not sure how I got on this particular spambot list, but it is amusing to get a spam for a live webinar that happened two days ago. Quote Date: Tusdaye, February 6, 2018 | Duration: 60 minutes That's a copy-paste, BTW. The speaker is Quote ... currently Interim Associate Vice President of Student Success at ... #1. Love that title. Add some more qualifiers. "Interim Associate Junior Buckwheat Vice President of Student Success and Administrative Bulls--t Purveyance and Greater Income Through Internet Spam" would sound more impressive and would ring truer. #2. The alleged academic affiliation is some dump in the CSU system that I had to look up on Wikipedia, but it seems that yes, it actually does exist, and when I drill down, it seems that yes, that person does have the claimed position at that institution. That all of those things were true came as a surprise. #3. The conjunction of being in the CSU system and sending out announcements for events two days in the past is what really convinced me that yes, this person really is who s/he says s/he is. That feels like the state university administrative practices that were partly responsible for me leaving a state university almost 18 years ago.

Cancer Posted February 11, 2018 Report Share Posted February 11, 2018 jI recall a Dutchman saying (after the term was explained to him) that he wasn't sure what appalled him more: what a swirlie was, or that it had a commonly recognized name.
