The keystone assignment for my History of Anthropology seminar was due mid-semester (participants were less harried), was an annotated bibliography (“your own words” was the only compositional option), and produced by 2–3 people (reflection about the nature of authorship was baked in).

The sole author term paper genre has its place but is hardly the only way to cultivate the ability to synthesize or to encourage compositional skills.

Hypothesis: plagiaristic habits are encouraged by mindlessly assigned 10–20 page term papers that result in the production of mindless text by sleep-deprived undergraduates.
Claudine Gay went to Exeter, Princeton, Stanford, and Harvard. With that educational pedigree she either should have known better or she learned long ago that is how it is done. (I’m inclined towards the latter.)

Plagiarisms, Authorships, and the Academic Death Penalty

Extremely grateful to New Mexico Dept of Vocational Rehabilitation for covering the cost of a set of CROS hearing aids after right side hearing loss. And to the worker at the hearing center who referred me for the program that I would have been completely ignorant of otherwise.

US health insurance coverage of hearing aids is partial at best and the cost is in the four figures. Alongside dental care it is a glaring and dangerous coverage shortcoming even by US standards.

Claudine Gay’s peer reviewers found her Not Guilty of plagiarism; you can’t retry a defendant who receives that verdict; a verdict of Not Guilty is not equivalent to a verdict of Innocent. By way of analogy.
‘Annihilation’ sort of worked for me upon release as a tale of dark enchantment. Five years of sometimes irl mind-bending experience later I barely stayed awake through it
