have i mentioned that i hate grading...?

It never fails.... any time I get all geared up to grade papers, I barely get started before a case of flagrant plagiarism crops up and pisses me off.

It's right there in the syllabus... DO NOT COPY AND PASTE STUFF FROM THE WEB, I WILL GOOGLE YOU AND FIND OUT. Do they really think I'm too stupid to spot writing that is OBVIOUSLY not written by a non-science college student?? "... and measure the three-dimensional structure and dynamic behavior of the magnetosphere" DING! DING! DING! Off to Google we go!

And it wasn't even plagiarized fome someplace GOOD, but fucking Wikipedia!!

Lazy fuckers.
