[Robotgroup] [Fwd: Manchaca Optimist Festival, May 3rd]

[Andre Lamothe]

Ahh, which classes? Teaching is too draining for me anymore. But, the 
funniest class I ever taught was at UC Santa Cruz, graphics and game dev. So 
we have a project, where the students have to make a complete game for the 
final -- ok, simple enough. So, I am walking from student to student, 
looking at their final work, they tell me about it, then I get to this girl 
(one of 2 in the class, so I will give her an A for effort), but she shows 
me her game, and it looks VERY familiar. Of course, she COPIED it line for 
line from MY book, but the sad part is she didn't realize the class USES my 
book, my name is on it, so not only plagiarized, but so lame she didn't read 
the authors name in huge letters on the cover "Andre' LaMothe", needless to 
say, it was too sweet a moment, to even let her know, so I asked her some 
questions about MY code, which she couldn't answer -- however, I gave her a 
D rather than an F, at least she tried to solve the problem by stealing 
other people's work, works for Apple :)

south.
