Plagiarism detectors aren’t meant to be used in lieu of critical evaluation. They find suspected plagiarized passages and supply links to what they think is the original text. Then you as the professor are supposed to evaluate whether it really counts as plagiarism. You can tell the detector to ignore certain parts that pass your scrutiny and rerun the analysis.

When I was teaching, I always included a “drafts only” TurnItIn link that was for the express purpose of students checking their own work for plagiarism. They were supposed to run it through TurnItIn, evaluate what it picked up on, fix whatever issues were present, and then when their paper was in a good place with no plagiarism, they could submit it to the real TurnItIn link for me to grade. This was to the students’ benefit because they couldn’t be surprised by the results, and also to my benefit because with this system students had no excuse for submitting any plagiarized material. The diligent students used this system. Lots of lazy students did not, and when I found plagiarism I was not lenient because they’d had every opportunity to avoid it. (And also because it’s fucking grad school, and I had no patience for their fuckery.)

Yeah and also, sometimes it’s really hard to find NMIC products.

What about orange creamsicles?

Different strokes for different folks, but for me personally, absolutely not. I’m married anyway but if I were single and looking to date, I would completely avoid people with kids. I just don’t enjoy them and wouldn’t want them in my life. Plus it would be unfair to the kids!

I wonder if this was from Tinker Tenor Doctor Spy, the scene in the briefing room when the Doctor daydreams that all the female crew are flirting with him. Seven doesn’t sit in chairs super often but I think she does in that scene.

Vinegar is great when washing pet laundry like blankets and bed covers.

Trans women are women, full stop! And so yes they can be lesbians, and yes they deserve love respect hugs and fluffy animals. And even though I’m not sure what zebras are in this context, in general zebras are cool stripey boiz & galz so thumbs up to them and their stripey gum too.

You were the blue light special…

Ballsack

Oh yeah? Well I’m a universe-class master astrologer, third degree.

Nobody did better than 5/12. And looking at the average, most didn’t even come close to that.

You know, a cow’s opinion

Lol yup!

• The smell of bleach on freshly washed sheets
• Doing cricket legs when I get in a bed with fresh sheets after shaving my legs
• My afternoon cup of tea
• The sound of blue jays
• The sound of a heavy downpour
• A mid-afternoon couch nap

Not as good as the Land O Lakes lady

Same for Baa Baa Black Sheep ;)

Where did we go wrong?

Ha! Everyone asks that. No kids, small house, zero debt. We try to live somewhat cheaply so we don’t need much money.

Ooh, close but not quite there. I’m 42!
