grading ennui

Today I caught a student plagiarizing. And not just a little here or there, either. This kid took the text of an entire freaking website. What clued me in was one little word in the phrase "allegedly had a vision." It was the "allegedly" that made me wonder what was up, given the I-know-nothing-about-christianity attitude this student displayed in class. The sentence just kept bugging me and finally I thought, just one quick check. One google search and two hours later, I've contacted my dept. chair, the dean of students and the student. I don't think I can face another paper with the open attitude required for the end of the semester grading marathon. This is not a day I love my job.
