And I'm also pleased to read (in your previous post) that you're having the surgery in January instead of waiting.

I'm sorry to hear that you're dealing with this too. I just wasted half my day on a couple of [expletive] plagiarists. One of them will fail the course, and the other will pass... marginally. Not sure what part of: "you will be caught and severely punished" these students don't understand.incalculablehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14864359521030748492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28553339.post-4535358518028255742008-11-26T17:08:00.000-08:002008-11-26T17:08:00.000-08:00Congrats on the grant!

Tell them the grading isn't going quickly because you're spending your time documenting plagiarism and if they want feedback they should just do the work. Make them write more in class (has to be original and then you don't have to write lectures). Take hot baths. Be good to yourself. And play the hand you get dealt: if it includes tumors and operations, then for pete's sake, take the course release and the sympathy that come with that! The silver lining may be tiny compared to the cloud, but grab what silver you can get.<BR/><BR/>I hope I'm not hectoring you when you're down. I'll slink away quietly now.Marcelle Prousthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05987555499861902190noreply@blogger.com
