kids these days take no care in plagiarizing... I mean who actually gets caught, put some effort into hiding your tracks.

They're not kids, I teach adult education. The student must have been in his mid-thirties! The last time this happened, four years back, a number of people handed in the same piece of work. I didn't pick it up for a while because I was an off-campus tutor and the work was coming in widely spaced over time. It was only when I got some in quick secession I saw the plagiarism. Last time it was swept under the rug "We've already passed some of the students..... it would be unfair......". Not this time, I want blood!!
My sister taught high school back in the early - mid 1990's - geography, history, stuff like that. She informed the class at the beginning of the year that anyone caught plagiarizing would receive a failing grade. This was when the interwebs were fairly new. She had several students turn in papers that still had the freaking URL printed at the bottom of the page. They couldn't even be bothered to copy and paste into Word.
Naturally, several parents complained that she dared to follow through on her promise to fail their precious little cheating snowflakes.

Hey! I'm in my mid-thirties and i refuse to be an adult!
Bring a breath of the dying sword* to class, that should help.
* Axes, pikes and other weapons work well too.
You can stop sucking up to him. Unless he's your teacher.
You have any idea how much work that is?! Especially for those that don't know how to control A, control C, control V.
Story time sucks when no one wants to help make a story.
So, this afternoon, I was somewhat disappointed thinking that tomorrow was only Wednesday. I was sure that I had already worked two days this week, and that today should've been Wednesday, and thus already over half of this week was done.
Imagine my delight when I realised that today was in fact Wednesday, and I only had two more days of work until the weekend! Two more days!

I'm in the same spot Drystan its awsome.
I concur with our beloved plucked chicken, I just turned 30 and have twins on the way yet I refuse to be an adult aswell!
Plagiarism should be illegal, oh wait it is, stupid little fools, if they get caught they should get atleast a dunce hat and a failing grade.

It's been almost 48 hours since I reported the plagiarism and still no response from the bosses. I know it is a busy time of the year but I would has expected something, even "oh crap!" would have done.
Nope, I'm only a sessional. That's why the bosses get paid the big bucks. Still I'd like to see something done about it this time.
So just had a tick pulled out from me. I didn't notice when it dug in, but found it as I had a shower after work. I now have that possible-phantom sense where I can still feel it inside me, kinda sore and uncomfortable.
Now to monitor how I'm feeling to ensure I don't get any serious symptoms, although, in people, they're /usually/ not too serious.

You don't wanna know how often i hear this. And i'll tell you what i tell them: I'm not their agenda. Either they do something with it (as is their job) or let me know you're not gonna do something with it so at least i know where i stand.
ah, I thought you said dick
Ha ha ha!!! Made me laugh out load at the office!!! Thanks
What? Me laughing or the joke?
In my defense I have been up since 4 a.m this morning with kids, third night in a row I haven't slept enough so I might be a bit tired...
