beyond the fucking pale

I caught another plagiarizing student.  This one had the unmitigated audacity to lift half of his essay from a film review published in the New York Times only a few months ago — a paper to which I subscribe; a review I had already read.

In other news, this is actual:

im sorry i was unable to attend class on thursday i’ve been real ill for the ast few days please et me know if thee is anything i can do to make it up

[John doe]

In addition to there being no subject line, Mr. Doe does not even know to capitalize the first letter of his own goddamned last name.

I am so ready for Christmas break I could die.
