And what a timely post....Adam, I'm appalled at you. And what a timely post. I've got a stack of 90 papers to grade. I am looking for evidence that students thought about the assignment that I bothered to give them and to construct in such a way that it invited their active participation. I want evidence that the student did some research. Looked something up. Put their thoughts into words themselves. I want them to have learned something. <BR/><BR/>And I find I am enraged by encountering a few smooth, mistake-free, elegant essays from people who cannot put an English sentence together in their response papers and who did poorly on the most recent exam. In fact, I'm downright furious. Because I'm looking at an A-quality essay, and I just know it wasn't written by the student who handed it in. And it's a total waste of my time to even read it. <BR/><BR/>Now. Maybe you are fine with applauding their "smarts" for finding an essay to buy off the internet and outsourcing their learning, but I'm not. I don't care about reading something that wasn't written by my student. That tells me nothing about the student's learning. <BR/><BR/>I'm hoping that you wrote this post to generate some lively conversation, not because you're really happy with seeing "creatively plagiarized" papers. No victims? I gotta tell you, I'm feeling like one right now.jeanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12869460051254283412noreply@blogger.com
