Wonderful news indeed. It seems that more and more of my time is spent
looking for plagarism in student papers -- teachers seem to know that we are
indeed fact finders but I wish more would understand the need for critical
thinking skills in writing assignments. I look forward to reading the
article - perhaps I can convince the teachers to read it as well.
Whenever I get published I experience the same reaction --- I look back at
what I have written and it looks as if I never saw it before. At times, I am
unsure if I really wrote something - I think it is the relief of ending a
project, seeing it in print - and letting go. At least it has worked that
way for me.
