Yeah, I'm not going to let someone be sanctimonious about staying in a class after being warned to the point where they are more or less cheating. It's not b constructive blue cause it's not an asspat apparently.

*raises eyebrows* you call using Wikipedia cheating? And do you actually think that the majority of students don't use Wikipedia?

Who is being sanctimonious here?

Also, in all honesty, it doesn't come across well when you treat people like that - being scathing and mocking (that goes WAY beyond just disagreeing) when you don't like what someone said about something that has nothing to do with you, and acting like you're taking it really personally.

Pretty sure she's just bitter about what happened that fat girls are hot non-fandom confession and wanted to get back or whatever for feotakahari's comment yesterday.

That's cute! But no.

wait, what?

I checked back on that thread, and all I saw were a few "ia" comments and a picture of a literal chick (baby chicken). Was there wank??

:') I'm glad someone noticed my picture.

when I saw that, with the image, I was like "someone posted a baby bird" and you did not disappoint :P

I think using Wikipedia instead of watching the film in a film class is cheating, yes. They weren't looking up quick facts, they were literally not doing the work. And that is lame. I won't pretend it isnt.

And no,acting as if it is lame isn't taking it pwrsonally.

considering that I know you're a teacher and you commented "Wow. You must be a pleasure to teach." it does seem you took it a little personally, if not for yourself, then on behalf of Teachers Everywhere, even though I'm quite sure teachers aren't a monolith.

If you're just talking about using Wikipedia instead of watching a movie, I'd say it depends, but I don't have a formal opinion on that specific set of scenarios. So I won't disagree, just...I dunno. I've used Wikipedia for class before but under different circumstances.

As for the rest, you can take it how you like - just a little feedback. I know a lot of people don't like you, and I actually do like you, but sometimes you are really rude.

If you're defining "personally" so broadly that I can never talk about education without it being "personal," then yes, I suppose it's "personal."

So yes, let's make it personal: this person strikes me as the kind of student who tries to skate by. That prof did everything right, including warning the students ahead of time and putting violence in the actual name of the class, and the poster is acting as if this was so hard to deal with that they just had to read summaries instead of actually doing classwork. I take solace in the fact that, as an educator, I've personally seen that it's really fricking easy to tell when a student is only using wikipedia knowledge.

Thanks for the feedback, but again, this is lame. I'm going to treat it as lame. This does not seem to be what you were doing with wikipedia at all. We all use wikipedia. The profs use wikipedia. This is cheating.

Edit: Arg, sorry. This is me trying not to be pissy. I'm in a bad mood.

Can we just call an avoidance truce? If you don't comment on anything I post, I won't comment on anything you post. (If I forget, slap me with a metaphorical trout.)

Anyone here can comment on whatever they want. If you don't want to respond to someone just...don't respond to them.

Don't let that hateful bitch stop you from posting.

I don't think you sound pissy, at least not right now. You sound blunt, and I don't mind blunt - I am rather blunt at times. But the way you worded the first comment I replied to was just downright rude imo.

I guess I take the stance with feo's position that I don't know enough about what was going on there. I'm gonna stay neutral on that one.

Thanks for the response and the explanation though. :)

Who cares if they cheated or not? It isn't like they cheated on an important exam for a licence to be a brain surgeon. They're in college. They are PAYING for their own classes. It has literally nothing to do with you or the prof.

So just calm those calamities that are your mammaries.

So just calm those calamities that are your mammaries.

Not getting involved in the argument but I love this line in general.

And you are part of why the system is going to shit. Congratulations. I hope you're proud of how worthless your education was.

You don't care about cheating in college? And it doesn't matter as long as people are paying for their classes? If they weren't paying for them, I presume it wouldn't matter then, either.

And if all this cheating doesn't matter... then, where, exactly do you think people honestly get their credentials to become brain surgeons, doctors, nurses, pilots, etc.?

I'm hoping you're a troll, and that this isn't your actual "informed" opinion.

DP covered my own objections to this comment quite well, but I will add:

"I'm not going to let..."

It's not really up to you or anyone else to let or stop anyone from feeling a certain way about their experiences. OP had misjudged their tolerances and took appropriate steps, you venturing your... lets say judgments on them for this isn't helpful and really only serves to make someone feel bad. As I said above unnecessarily harsh.

Again, if you want to be unnecessarily harsh, go for it, but if you'll take some honestly well-meaning advice from me, that approach is not going to make the places and people around you any happier.
