    Karma > Stupidity

    This is from last week. As a reminder, I teach at a business-type college. I teach English composition and related classes.

    As a note, students at my school have access to an online bibliography creator. They enter the information, and the software formats the entries.

    Dramatis Personae:
    Me: Your simian English teacher
    IS: Idiot student, who evidently believes I have "stupid bitch" printed across my forehead.

    IS: Uh...I don't have any of my homework 'cuz my computer crashed.
    Me: I see. Did that include your bibliography?
    IS: Yeah.
    Me: Did you do your bibliography like I suggested?
    IS: Uh...yeah.
    Me: So that means you used [online software package]?
    IS: [Nods.]
    Me: Good. Go to the library right now, sign in, and print it out.
    IS: Um...
    Me: Which means you didn't do it. Nice try.

    Seriously, I may look like a dumbass, but I know what tools are available to my students.

    Buuuuuuuuuusted. I've used an online bibliography formatting thing, but it didn't save any of it...unfortunately.

      wow, now the software does the bibliography for them? All those nights I spent footnoting... All the headaches when everyone decided to switch to MLA formatting... Now the program does it for them AND they can't be bothered to even finish the assignment OR come up with a more convincing lie?! Lazy little bastards...

        Ah, i love the online bibliography maker. Made things so much easier except that it didn't underline. Had to change italics to underlining before saving and printing or there would be much trouble. Damn, do the bibliography ahead of time, at least, so you can have some "proof" you were working on the assignment, even if you weren't.

          People should be more obsessive about saving every 15 minutes... like me.

          Of course, I also have to include "letting Photoshop crash once" in the mystical ritual required daily to let me use it at all.

              I don't think so with this guy. He's just really lazy and really dumb. He's dumb to the point that he'd have to drop his pants to count to 11.

                  He probably can't count that high even with his pants down.

                      Oh, what I wouldn't have given for an online bibliography creator... Obviously, the student is the "stupid bitch".

                            He's also too stupid to think of a good excuse. Like this guy.
