One of my students turned in a paper that was full of quotes... Literally 1/2 of the paper was a quote (not straight through, but interspersed and sometimes a whole paragraph was a just a quote). I can't assess a person's understanding if they are only using quotes. The very troubling part of the paper was the number of quotes what weren't attributed to the authors who wrote the words.
Ugh. I just sent the email dealing with it. Ugh. Ugh. I know it's only one student. I was just hoping I wouldn't have to deal with this with graduate students. We'll see what happens now.
