Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, B.C., recently introduced a grade called FD to deal with cheaters.
The letters stand for failure with academic dishonesty. —Calgary Herald
FD for cheaters? Why not FU?
(Thanks for the suggestion, Josh.)

Dennis! I ran across your site today checking plagiarism on a student’s take home exam– your definition of a thesis statement is technically correct, but nothing close to what we’ve been talking about in my class. Send me an email and let me know how you and yours are doing. This chance meeting has made my midterm.
PS I’m getting married next month. And Stephen is doing wonderfully well– starts high school tomorrow.
