To student who shall remain nameless

If you're going to copy and paste text from the internet in your paper and expect to get away with it you should at least make sure all the text pieces have the same font and size so that it's not so bleedin' obvious.
It won't help, because we run everything through a system called "urkund" which checks the text with texts on the internet, but still, it would have shown that you cared a little more.

The sheer gall and stupidity of people never ceases to amaze me.

It amazes me that they still continue to to think they can get away with it. I once had a student turn in a piece of writing that I knew was copy and paste. When I called him on it he got very indignant. "Wha ... woffle waffle It is Not - I did ........"
"No, you did not." I said "I wrote that."
"Whoops!"

Epic failure. Can't even change the fonts? Oh good grief.

You should take the example up at review time, hold up the paper, strike the name, and explain just how stupid that was.

They could at least have enough respect for their elders to cheat with a bit of efficiency and grace...
