That was certainly fun! "I made a doody" should have had a citation, I think. Also the "Dharma and Greg" reference. Hilarious!
Forgot to mention -- on Tuesday, Dr. Phil's show addressed the issue of cheating. It's incredible -- I learned so much I didn't want to know. Students are using their cell phones to cheat. Not only are they text messaging, but they are using camera phones to take photos of the test and then e-mail them to friends on the outside. A lot of times they won't put their final answers on their papers until the last possible moment, just so they don't get caught by a teacher.
There are now several web sites which help teachers/profs check papers for plagiarism. One is called www.turnitin.com -- some profs require their students to run their papers through this web site and attach the report with the paper.
