And if you read the post...I actually DO believe it. And if you read the post I go further…I used to pay much more attention to their essays, exams because of it.<BR/><BR/>I remember one exam paper I got here in Warsaw University. It had strange single letter capitals places in random places throughout the text. Of course, I started to pay more attention to this particular paper (usually grading exam papers is VERY boring). Putting all the capital letters together I started to make words…LUST….DESIRE…that kind of stuff. I knew the student who was doing…one of the flirtatious ones. <BR/><BR/>So when I went back to the content proper of the paper I gave it a forensic going over…only to discover that much of what she was writing was word for word out of the notes I gave her in a lecture once. Plagiarism!<BR/><BR/>Now I would have probably not noticed that unless I got the strange capitals and had paid more attention consequently.<BR/><BR/>So, believe it or not, she got a lower mark for the exam than if she hadn’t done something silly like tried to chat me up via an exam paper.beatroothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11242716221133886807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13112593.post-1165671249663475802006-12-09T14:34:00.000+01:002006-12-09T14:34:00.000+01:00Beatroot wrote:"But what I did experience quite of...<I> Beatroot wrote:<BR/>"But what I did experience quite often when I was working as a university lecturer – in the UK and Poland - was thinly veiled, and not so thinly veiled, advances from female students.

In fact you probably honestly believe it, but not a chance in the world.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
