I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

OK- I am on the "fail" train now. If what she claims is true (about the paraphrasing) she does not deserve a masters, as I learned that in high school.

I think that she fails AND has to redo the assignment.

Because books.

She's a master student and she doesn't know how not to plagiarize? Whoa. Fail her, and fail her hard.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I'd be so pain-free I'd be unable to wake up. Granted, *everything* puts me to sleep. Tylenol puts me to sleep.

Either she really doesn't know, and doesn't deserve a master's degree, or she does know and is lying about it, and doesn't deserve a master's degree.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

She's a master student and she doesn't know how not to plagiarize? Whoa. Fail her, and fail her hard.

Yeah. She failed to meet the minimum standards required to pass the class, and she's long past the point where she should get hand-holding....

Did they also discover that the sky is blue? Not to be overly snarky, but this doesn't seem like a huge leap to me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Ahahaha! I live in California, and this would never get past any of my doctors, no matter what studies approved it. OMG, if they thought I was a seeker now...

brillig

But I will note that I can't pull all-nighters anymore like I could even four or five years ago.

I remember how annoyed I was when I tried to pull an all-nighter and was absolutely non-functional the next day. Sleep seemed such a waste of time. Now, it's the sweet bounty of the gods.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Either she really doesn't know, and doesn't deserve a master's degree, or she does know and is lying about it, and doesn't deserve a master's degree.

Yup. At this point in her academic career, it doesn't matter why she's done it. There's just no way to get from what she's done to deserving a master's.
