Irony

I have a student who could barely write coherently. So he turns in a perfectly written rough draft. Well, duh. I found it at Prospect Magazine's web site, emailed it to him and told him to do it over or get a zero.

He turns in the same plagiarized paragraphs in his final draft, supplemented with two paragraphs using the "bible" (apparently holy books don't actually deserve to be capitalized or underline) as a source supporting his argument, and misspells "Genesis" as "Geniuses".

He claims to be a preacher, but apparently his faith does not give him any moral prohibition against cheating.
