I’m 42. I owed about $88K after college (including one very expensive semester of med school in which I realized I didn’t want to be a doctor after all). In addition to my full-time job, I did a whole bunch of consulting work, which let me completely pay off my student loans plus pay for grad school out of pocket.

Yeah IIRC it went off the rails in the last third with a bunch of metaphysical navel-gazing nonsense.

Fucking excel. Lemmy lemme tell you. At a former position my boss wanted me to make an economic model in excel. I begged to do it in R but no dice. Annoyingly VBA was the skill all other employers were interested in (in my brief foray into industry). I had a million sads.

Plagiarism detectors aren’t meant to be used in lieu of critical evaluation. They find suspected plagiarized passages and supply links to what they think is the original text. Then you as the professor are supposed to evaluate whether it really counts as plagiarism. You can tell the detector to ignore certain parts that pass your scrutiny and rerun the analysis.
When I was teaching, I always included a “drafts only” TurnItIn link that was for the express purpose of students checking their own work for plagiarism. They were supposed to run it through TurnItIn, evaluate what it picked up on, fix whatever issues were present, and then when their paper was in a good place with no plagiarism, they could submit it to the real TurnItIn link for me to grade. This was to the students’ benefit because they couldn’t be surprised by the results, and also to my benefit because with this system students had no excuse for submitting any plagiarized material. The diligent students used this system. Lots of lazy students did not, and when I found plagiarism I was not lenient because they’d had every opportunity to avoid it. (And also because it’s fucking grad school, and I had no patience for their fuckery.)

Oh man. In undergrad I had a Thermodynamics professor who used the DRAFT VERSION of his textbook to teach with. It was completely unedited and he expected us to catch any errors. He was also like 80 years old, doddering, hard of hearing, forgetful, didn’t give us a syllabus until halfway through the semester… It’s the only class in undergrad that I got less than a B in. Years later I still resent him lol
