What does objectivity have to do with plagiarism?

And other questions that float through my mind while listening to this particular teacher.


I hate ramblers.  I'm a rambler.  I hate it.  I'll be talking, jumping topics, all of it apparently relevant to me....it's not.

I hate bad analogies.  It doesn't help if you compare two things that are totally different.

Like objectivity and plagiarism.

Also, a  traffic ticket isn't negative reinforcement.  It's adding something to decrease a behavior.

Positive Punishment.

Not taking something away to increase a behavior.

Negative Reinforcement.

That really bugs me.  A lot.  As someone who trains beagles constantly, I've realized people don't understand punishment and reinforcement.  Rambling, again.

Listening to a professor ramble drives me nuts.  Is this an important tangent?  Or just a story?  Is it worthy of notes?

Do I include the self-congratulating laughter?

6 classes a week of rambling...



Oh goodie.
