Predicted Grades (A2 students)

200428

wellpastmybedtime

I am the kind of teacher who knows that one of her students has obtained some coursework in this " Student Room" and has handed it in as his own and I am not very happy with that kind of cheating. However, I need to prove my case and so I need to find the work amongst the myriad of posts and information here.

He probably got it from coursework.info rather than on here...and all the essays on there are on turnitin so you can easily check...
It'd be quite hard for that sort of thing to get done on TSR without one of the moderators finding out anyways. It's common practice to help people out with difficulties in their coursework...I've done it myself a number of times :rolleyes:

but I didn't know that was actually a problem...cos basically we all help each other in school with reading through and commenting on how to change things etc. so what's the difference if it's on the internet?
I have in fact now found the posts this student placed here. I have not yet sourced his coursework ( which was a grade A and I think was passed from a student in this place. Do you condone that?)

I am the kind of teacher who does not like being lied to. I am the kind of teacher who dislikes students cheating.

I am the kind of teacher who should not be under estimated. I know how to use a computer and how to access these fora.

I am the kind of teacher who is actually somewhat tired of people who would ask the question you have. There is no law or rule in " The Student Room" which prevents me posting here as a teacher. When I signed in the form asked what I did. I put down teacher.

I am the kind of teacher, who I have finished sorting out my errant student will actually stop posting.

What kind of student are you that you have to question a teacher reading or posting here? :toofunny:

Its nothing to do with being internet based. Its to do with the fact you are supposed to hand in your own work, not someone elses. I have to sign to say I know its your own work and that you did not receive help ( or if you did - how much help you got) .

My snitch ( someone who is unhappy said student has an A from someone elses work whilst he has a C from doing his own alone and without using other people here or elsewhere, has suggested that the coursework was sent via an e mail from one member here to my student.

I am just looking for where the contact was made. I need that information to establish it is not his work . ( I know it is not. The student would not be able to do the level of statistics involved in this or carry out this complex level of research. he just isn't that good - anyone who thinks teachers cannot estimate the ability of their students is deluding themselves.)

What if he put a lot of work in??? I know incapable students who put in tons of effort into coursework, get good marks and it helps them with the theory. And anyway, as a teacher, aren't you meant to make him better???

ahahahah the little teacher-student conversation is hilarious, especially because, as expected, the teacher cannot help but talk in his rather condescending, patronising manner as a percieved yet self-deluded epitome of morality, whilst the very power positionals he is trying to exploit work exactly against his favour in this medium.
Lol- for a change.

Anyway, respect your teachers :smile:

ahahahha

I'm sorry but I disagree with this, many of my teachers predicted me grade D's for my GCSE's and what did I get? A's and B's.

I'm doing my A-levels now and all though they predicted quite well what my grades would be for my AS results, they know my true potential. however I cannot say the same for everyone, one of my friends was predicted C's for his A-levels and he got AAB.

So because his coursework is good you assume it must be plagiarism?
Your 'snitch', may just be a jealous inferior student.
And while as a teacher you may be able to judge a persons ability. I do not think it's right to simply say 'he just isn't that good'. Surely that would be a fault of the teacher...
