I am teaching a History of Psych course this semester as an emergency substitute for a faculty member who suffered a severe blow to the head and has moved into administration.

This course is considered a "capstone" course at ASU and requires a paper and presentation about some famous historical person. This requirement seems to be common at many universities. I have been looking at supplementary material for topics and am now familiar with many such postings that appear on the net. I can now recognize many presentations that are straight plagiarisms from Wikipedia.

Here is an example where the student appears not to even know the name of his subject.

Or maybe he has more insight about Cattell's relationship to Galton than I appreciated. (I realize this is an arguable point.)
