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.

Tell her to do a Yahoo search on "works cited"?

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola
Thanks for the suggestion, Jesse. I did just have to tell one student that I could not grade it as it was handed in because it is almost directly from the Web (which kills me, because he handed in a rough draft. Did he even read my comments?). So I told him to do a web search on "plagiarism paraphrase" so he'd understand the problem.

And here's another one which seems to have the same errors as her rough draft. I'm feeling less amused as I get further into the stack.

I've got to say, Emily, grading papers seems like the worst task ever. I mean, I nearly gave myself a heart attack today trying not to make someone add semicolons to her bulletpoints.
