Student: But I didn't intentionally plagiarize so many direct quotes from the book I was reviewing. Since it wasn't intentionally I shouldn't have to face the consequences. Intellectual theft is only wrong if you intend to steal. Me: Oh really? I just went back and checked your other papers. You lucked out because I failed to catch another paper which had the exact same problem. Be glad I'm not giving you the automatic F you deserve.

This has been the worst semester since my dissertation year. Lost the chance to land my dream job because of interdepartmental politics. Stuck teaching mostly online entitled students who only want someone with a rubber stamp - not a professor. It's difficult to not let depression reign.
I deserve hazard pay for grading these papers. Atrocious.
Student: "I did not interpret a lack of citations as plagiarism because I listed my sources" Plagiarism is not open for interpretation. No citations = plagiarism
What part of "No Internet Sources" makes you think that Google searches are allowed?

Student logic: The professor gave us a worksheet as a Word Doc to fill out and submit. If I alter the worksheet so it looks like I did all the work the prof will never know. I'm a genius!
My online class has a test due by midnight. A student emailed me today and said: “It is possible to get a clue on the test? Usually in class the students get a hint on what to prepare for….I realize this is an online class, but if the information is listed on the website I have not found it.” I showed great restraint by not replying with: “Thank you for letting me know you have watched none of the lecture videos. I am always glad to know which of my online students treat this class like a joke. Good luck watching all the lecture videos and completing the test by midnight. I do believe you are screwed.”
Some students just want to fail.
Day 2 of a new online class and the "I didn't take the time to read the syllabus or the clear instructions" emails are piling up. I've learned that it's best to not reply immediately. Rather I wait a couple of hours in the hopes that my annoyance levels will go down and my reply email will be more gracious.
I am tempted to tell my online students that every time they ask me a question that is clearly answered in the online lecture videos their final grade is docked a full letter grade.

You know you have an extrovert in an online class when they respond to each person's class introduction post and use lots of exclamation marks.
A research project has taken away all my Tumblr time. But with a new online class starting next week the need to vent expresses myself, will again start taking precedence.
I clearly explain to my students that I use the following grading principles:
A = exceptional work; B = good work; C = acceptable work; D = eh, you just barely squeaked by; F = unacceptable
Yet they still can't understand why when they only do the minimum they don't get an A.
*Sigh*
After teaching online undergrad classes for a year I've concluded that I hate online classes.
I'm all for everyone having access to higher education. However, honestly, higher education is not for everyone. I've noticed a high percentage of students working towards online degrees at my school who - honestly - shouldn't be. They don't care. They can't even handle a simple 2 page research paper - even after I spell out what I want. They don't make an effort to improve themselves. I leave copious amounts of notes on assignments because I want my students to improve; and they never read them. Many are students who have way too much on their plate and assume that I will "have mercy" on them (i.e., lower standards) because they've got a family and a job. Nope.
They want the degree without the work/effort.
Because of people like this there's a problem with grade inflation. I interviewed at one school to teach for their online program and they basically told me they don't fail students. This was in response to my statement that I abide by the rules (late penalties, etc.) in the syllabus, that I am willing to extend mercy only in extenuating circumstances. They did not like my answer. Needless to say (and thankfully) I do not work for them.
I was appalled that a school (esp of their reputation) would be a part of the problem. At least the school I teach online for is trying. They're revamping their online program. And they will back me up against student complaints of having to *gasp* work.
Once again I caught an online student plagiarizing. They received a zero on the assignment. I fully explained to the student what the problem was. The next assignment she turned was plagiarized.
Are students really that stupid? They still had a chance to pass the class. But they decide that there was no way their prof, whose super power is catching plagiarism, will ever catch them. The student then failed the class. *sigh*

'Tis the season for student evaluations. While most of my students gave me glowing evaluations, there was one in an online class, who...well....is still sore that I have standards. It was either from a student I caught plagiarizing, or from a student who put a one page quote in a two page research paper and responded to my statement of fact ("You have a one page quote in a two page paper.") with "I feel like you're insulting me."
Question: "How could your instructor improve the teaching of this course?"
Answer: "Choose a new profession where being disrespectful to people is allowed."
Part of me laughs at the irony of this. (Both potential culprits were very disrespectful to me.) But the other part of me wants to sit the student down and have a "come to jesus" discussion about their attitude towards me, and education in general.
Student quote: "I have educated my view..." [...but not my grammar.]
