Quote from: Parasaurolophus on Today at 07:40:06 AMBusy day ahead, will do a little referee reading and a little less T1ing.

A chunk of one, bit of the other.

Exactly. Leaving after commencement could be seen as hypocritical, but I don't think the critical thinking even went that deep. There is no obtainable goal, no path for reaching any goal, and counterproductive tactics for any hope of influence. Somehow it seems appropriate if the whole thing ends quietly and unresolved because the semester is over and everyone is off to their summer thing.

Same here, as well as in my syllabus. Presumably it's also part of the first-year writing program's policies as well. My guess is that the student asked permission from the prof he knew would let it slide. And (not that it matters, given the policies), but he did submit his ENG102 essay first -- early April. But that's because my (much more specific) project contained a number of benchmark days and other scaffolding. So student would on my project for about seven weeks total, and he saw the opportunity to double dip.

I suspect that I'm going to get a "but Mr. 102 gave that paper an A so you should give me one too" email next.

Most of them won't be around after.

Thanks for the heads up, Sun_Worshiper! I had not heard of that one but have put it on our list!

Good morning/afternoon!

Got to a bit past genius with pangram so far.  Yesterday we needed bee buddy help with adept, heptad, teapot, I think.  I also had hothead but not hotheaded, and I even went through my list looking for pairs missing an item.  I have to just remember to always try it.

No luck on LB.  Closest I got was telework.  Congrats! And congrats on another today, cathwen!

Good luck with your packing, and I hope your flights go smoothly, ciao_yall!

Happy solving!

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.

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.)
