I finished all the grading! I woke up really early and just read all the rest of history papers and them used Excel for all the grading formulas and then put them into the system and I was done! Yay, for no more grading until September.
Two of my students plagiarized in their term Research Paper which was worth 35% of the grade. One guy, who was writing a paper on Plato, started taking about Plato and More and it was so clear than I had to google it. After I sent him an email telling him that because of plagiarism (and explaining that I used Google to catch it) he would fail the paper and the class, he responded back that he didn’t do this and he wanted to meet me and show his notes and he didn’t go near the internet. I pointed out that I have a specific website (I’m thinking he got someone else to write the paper for him or something) but I could always submit his paper to Academic Honesty Committee and let them decide. He emails back a minute later willing to just let it go “what’s done is done.” That amused me to no end.
Another student’s paper was pretty crappy, C level paper and I was ready to give him that C but then on the second to last page, he left one of the sentences he copied from the internet highlighted. Yes, he was that stupid. So, of course, I googled it too. He didn’t deny the plagiarism but has been begging me for a D, in numerous emails – have some dignity and admit responsibility there, kid.
Grimm S1E21 Awesome as usual. Poor Hank – Nick can’t really tell him anything and Hank feels like he is going crazy. And I did appreciate that the villain did truly try to help and wasn’t evil for the sake of being evil.
