How do I tell one of my students that I know he plagiarized a tumblr longpost without also telling him that I use tumblr
I am begging for this to be about your centaur abomination, because that would be a hideous kind of justice
@missourien Any time I suspect one of my students of plagiarism, I copy and paste a section of their writing into google with quotation marks. Then I show them where I found their writing word-for-word online. They’re usually pretty flabbergasted. I then give them the scary “plagiarism is illegal and you can get kicked out of school etc. etc.” and they sometimes cry and always swear they’ll never do it again.
