HIS 1001 - DAY CLASS: Day 3 of marking final papers and suddenly everything has become surreal. Was it all a dream? I am sure that I remember spending hours and hours explaining the task. Perhaps I imagined it? I am sure that I made it clear that I will not tolerate plagiarism. Here I am, day 3 of marking papers, reading work that has been copied and pasted directly from "wikipedia," and I am fighting the temptation to smash my head against the wall. Has it all been a huge waste of time? Then something caught my eye, maybe I was imagining it? Was it a mirage sent by some prankster spirit just to trick me? I read it again and again and I wept with joy! An excellently researched and presented piece of work by someone who has really engaged with every aspect of the course! This whole experience has been worth it after all! EUREKA! WELL DONE Austina Karma Gurung, for your excellent piece entitled, "Gender Roles and Feminism." YOU HAVE RESTORED MY FAITH IN HUMANITY! Okay people, I shall be posting results and brief feedback next week. Have fun. :-)
