private posts
Usually when I go on a rant or deal with something that is personal, but I don’t mind regulars reading, I will mark it as private post and be done with it. As I check my statcounter I feel compelled to add another category to private. My reviews and evaluations will now require passwords as well. I do not want to contribute to the plagiarism that runs rampant on campuses these days and as research paper season gets started I am getting more and more hits for various topics/books that I have researched. It won’t eliminate the ripping that takes place, but it will at least add a stumbling block. Remember people, plagiarism can get you zero credit, disciplinary action, and even kicked out of college. It isn’t worth it and you get nothing positive out of it. Yes, your professors check.

As one who has written a lot of book reviews–it’s always interesting to see people looking for “reviews” of the books I’ve reviewed… I wonder how many end up being used by students.

This reminds me of one of a college story. A friend of mine found a biology lab workbook that had been completely filled out from a previous term. Not only did he use it, but instead of copying the answers into his lab book, he simply tore out the pages from the already completed workbook and turned them in as his own.

Hey girl! I love you’re photo page with flickr. I tried it and I’m missing something. How did you get it to make a page for you and use the thumbnails. I can’t get that part to work?
`Thanks!
