Plagiarism
Hugo’s got a posting about plagiarism in one of his classes.
Mercifully, my own experiences with it have been few.
I always find it amazing that students think we teachers won’t figure
out that they’ve plagiarized. Usually, it’s pretty damn
obvious. I had one case where the student wrote two paragraphs in
barely standard, badly constructed prose, shifted for two paragraphs to
a Freudian psycho-sexual analysis way beyond anything presented in
class, in complicated prose, and then back to the student’s badly
mangled own work.
I don’t feel quite so bad about giving the F in that case. If
you’re stupid enough to submit an assignment as above, you probably
shouldn’t pass the class to begin with.

yeah well at least you can fail students when they plagarize, at columbia they give them a slap in the wrist and if you do it again you might get a D! I say fail them all. The best story was when a fellow grad student caught one of his students plagarizing cause he had copied from an article he had written! how stupid can these kiddies be?!
