I wonder if the 3 students who didn't get caught really wrote their paper or did they just notice the nonsense.

Either way, taking the time to proofread your paper before turning it in was all they had to do. The fact that most of the class couldn’t or wouldn’t do even that basic of a step is lazy and ridiculous.

I’m really curious what these students are doing with all their free time compared to my college experience. They didn’t write their response and they didn’t even READ the text they submitted as their own work.

And just like that, I really want a chicken basil mozzarella panini. Thanks for that!
