Oh, I hear ya. I have a student who included her notes and quiz on
plagiarism (the only quiz I give, which is open notes and held directly
after our discussion about plagiarism, I might add) in her final =
portfolio.
Then, twenty pages later, in her final paper, she plagiarizes about =
seven
sections. She actually plagiarized the same two sentences three times =
in
her paper. Lacks the creativity of varying her information, I guess. =
Yeah,
I'm failing her. No, I don't feel like chatting with her about it. She
clearly knows she broke the rules. Her portfolio proves it. Ha ha. I'll =
be
keeping that portfolio, though she requested it back for when she =
transfers.
Not with credits from my class.
I hate that students don't listen to this crap anyway. It seems like I =
am
wasting my time even discussing it with them anymore. Anyone out there =
have
some solid lessons that seem to work for them? Please share.

In other news, I am questioning the teaching genre as a whole today. I =

failing a kid for plagiarizing THREE times, but the higher powers think =
