My favorite comment (at least of the last couple papers): "It was known by [X], a mathematician, that [blah]. He knew this because it was proved by [Y]." She doesn't have anything else to say about either one of them, just that one guy knew it, and he knew it because this other guy proved it.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Emily, could you ding her for it, but allow her to earn it partially back by submitting a revised bibliography?
Eh, it's five points, and there was nothing else for me to take off for. It's an excellent grade regardless (I have to say, I'm almost embarrassed to be grading these so high, but it turns out our original assignment wasn't very specific, so all I can take off for is these minor execution details).
Hee. Hee. These papers are cracking my shit up.
She probably knows better, Emily. I think explaining would not be quick and is not really your job.
I know there are websites on like "How not to plagiarize," that include how to cite works and stuff. Could you just point people there?
Oh, even better, just write: "Do a yahoo search on "citing sources"."
You really are on top of things, Jesse.
I was a student very recently, remember.
And now you are a Master.
True that.
