According to a UC Irvine report covered by the NYT today, about one
third of students expect B's just for attending lectures, and 40 percent
believe they earn B's by doing required reading.

Nothing new about that. They are used to getting those grades in high
school...or the college of ed?! Points out that today it is very
important to give a mini-orientation to your classes where you lay out
expectations and obligations of student and teacher. I point out
typical problems, that

One of the subtle things that some teachers do to reinforce such
beliefs is taking off points when grading exam questions. I remind
students that they come into the exam with zero points and that they
earn/accumulate credit with good answers. That is, you'll never see
-3 or -5 on my exams; not
Or both.
On the other hand, I don't recall syllabi from most of my undergraduate
courses being so specific; yet I knew I was expected to do work
(because of what was instilled in me by high school teachers AND MY
PARENTS).

I do the same thing, for the same reason. I also have fairly little grubbing
for grades. I also emphasize the word ³earn² when describing any score on a
paper.
I also do not, generally, grade for attendance. If they ask about it I say
that their grade is determined by their demonstration of

Why university administrators will soon be insisting that we

begin to wonder why they need to keep employing us if they have our
lectures recorded for posterity).
I've just returned from a workshop on Plagiarism where the presenter was

referencing it, it's plagiarism. I agree that this could be the case if the

Chris- I could not agree more with what you said. Dap, I think it will help to
remember that plagiarism, if that's the issue, is a community issue rather than
a legal one. So if you are worried about misleading an audience then a brief,
I have said this before should suffice. I think Chris is
I can't vouch for this site, but many of the facts match up, the photos are

Dear Tipsters,
May I ask how Chris and others how you would react to this?
I recently was asked to review two papers from two different journals. One
manuscript was anonymous and the other was not.
The two papers presented different data but they referred to fairly similar
research questions.
Hi
I want Lego because I plan to talk about building blocks for mechanistic models
of psychological phenomena. And I think actually that the brain would be a
great use of Lego ... imagine different colors for different regions of the
brain. If you want to see what is possible with Lego (and

This is most likely self-plagiarism since neither paper has yet been published.
If not self-plagiarism, it is regular plagiarism. Only as a last resort would I
believe it was psychic plagiarism. I think published work should be held to a
higher standard than oral presentations at conferences
Stuart poses an interesting question which I have often pondered. When
one's research projects are narrowly focused, the literature review for one
manuscript is going to overlap considerably with others. If one did a good job
of summarizing the literature in an earlier manuscript,

what size you want it, but the idea of using the pixelated image as a pattern
seems logical.
Post the picture when you get it done. :)
Thanks Beth - very interesting.
