Sorry, that's one of the series we're watching on DVD (plus Succession, Doctor Who currently).  The recent streaming ones (on Amazon Prime) were Mr. Robot, Fallout, Person of Interest. 

I've always wanted to watch Homicide - I love The Wire. You should check out We Own This City if you are a fan of these shows. It was made by a lot of the same people and covers some of the same ground, but from a different angle. It is a six episode mini-series, so not too much of a commitment.

Proctor U sucks.

Quote from: mythbuster on Today at 07:40:37 AMSubmitting the same essay for two classes is a violation of our student conduct code here and is considered a form of plagiarism. I would check your university policies. At a minimum, I would suggest adding a clause about this to your syllabus for the future.

My institution has the same policy.

Don't these policies usually specify "without permission"? And as I indicated earlier, it would potentially only be the second submission that would be in question.

(As always, this term "self-*plagiarism" is an oxymoron.)

Busy day ahead, will do a little referee reading and a little less T1ing.

Good morning!

Genius with pangram so far. Yesterday I needed SBB to find doodad and hotheaded. (And I even had hothead early on!)

LB: I had the "official" leatherwork-knuckle. I was sure there would be a more efficient use of letters, but was too lazy to look further. Got a 2fer today!

Happy puzzling!

Quote from: RatGuy on April 26, 2024, 04:22:45 PMI'd like to bang colleague's head.

Student submits final essay with 98% similarity. Student emails "I matched with myself. I asked my English professor if I could turn in the same paper I wrote for you to him too. He said it was ok." Stu forwards email exchange confirming. The English prof said something like "welp, it looks like you got lucky that the essay you'd write for him works for my prompt. Go ahead. [Ratguy] won't mind."

In what world is this ok?

If he submitted it to you first, so it was "unique" for you, I don't see it matters if someone else accepts it later (knowingly) for something else. If it was submitted to the other person first, then it's a different story. It's hard to tell which is the case, since the match presumably happened just after submission for your course, whereas the other prof's response suggests it was submitted for your course earlier.

If it meets the requirements and it's original work to him, then I wouldn't mind.

In my business classes I have had students use the same project for different classes. They could reuse some bits, but there were other pieces that had to be done for one class but not the other.

Were I a graduating senior (or parent of one), I'd be very unhappy with the activists who brought this about.

If I were a parent who had traveled for commencement, I might consider occupying the presidents office (or the SVP of alumni relations and development) in protest of a stupid response to student engagement with the improtant issues of the day.

So if the ceremony continued, would the graduating protesters drop their signs and put on their robes for graduation, and then go back to protesting after? That would be hilariously hypocritical.

Morning!

QBwH for heptad, peapod. Hint for leatherwork-knuckle.

Puzzling between packing and flights. Happy solving!
