Those posts seem to get the most comments, which isn&#8217;t necessarily the best way to judge the value of a post, but it&#8217;s the only way I have.  Paper grading is almost finished for the semester and finals week is here.  Other teachers who blog are apparently thinking similar things as they go through the drill.  The <a href=\"http:\/\/gypsyscholarship.blogspot.com\/\">Gypsy Scholar<\/a> is an English teacher in South Korea who has recently written a series of posts on <a href=\"http:\/\/gypsyscholarship.blogspot.com\/2005\/12\/plagiarism-index.html\">detecting plagiarism<\/a>, and the assistance of Google in the process.<\/p>\n<p>A friend once told me that he wrote a little program to easily check his students&#8217; papers against Google.  I didn&#8217;t have the courage or opportunity to ask him for a copy, but one day I may.  For the most part, I don&#8217;t have to worry about students buying their papers from a paper mill because they write on subjects like &#8220;Beth Aven&#8221; and review books like Jewish Quarter Excavations in the Old City of Jerusalem.  Not the most popular topics.  Though I see <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ivyresearchpapers.com\/\">here<\/a> that you can buy an original paper for $15\/page, written by &#8220;retired professors&#8221; who are well-aware of the pain and frustration that students endure during research paper writing.&#8221;  Actually, looking at the site a little bit more, perhaps I should consider a career change!  Teach a student how to write a paper and get paid change; cheat and write a paper for him and you make the big bucks!   S-i-c-k.  Shouldn&#8217;t there be a law against this?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the themes of this blog seems to be related to the life of a teacher and student.
