Just wanted to let you know I fall asleep when not intellectually stimulated. There’s nothing I can do about it, it just happens. Thought you should know because I’ve had a lot of [course content] before so it’ll probably happen.

Email from a student who submitted a paper to the class folder which screens for originality/plagiarism….after the student got their originality report showing 100% match with the friend’s paper I got this email:
Hello Doctor X, i accidently sumited the wrong paper my friend sent me a paper to use as a guideline and without thinkin this morning i put my name on the top of the wrong paper and submited it can i plz submit the my paper as the paper i submited will be plagerism
I just checked my grades and I am only getting a C in your class. How can this be? This is an elective and I took it because I expected to get an A…… I had even heard it was an easy A. How come you are giving me a C?
Hello, A few of my friends and I were curious as to how many classes you can fail until you are offically kicked out .
Background provided by Instructor: This email was received on a Saturday night – the night before a paper was due. The paper was assigned months ago.
Hi, this is not (student’s name), this is her father. Unfortunately, my daughter is at a hotel for the weekend that does not have Internet, so she asked me to log into her account and email you to let you know she will be submitting her paper (due tomorrow) when she returns to campus on Monday. Thank you for your understanding.
(sent to professor at almost midnight)
i am confused about the paper you assigned that is due tomorrow for class and it would be great if you could get back to me right away. i need to know if it has to be 1,000 characters or 1,000 words. i don’t think i ever picked up the syllabus. please reply as soon as you get this.
Background provided by Instructor: : Students submit their papers to a site that screens for plagiarism…. a higher % indicates a greater probability that the paper is not the student’s original work; she is confused.
Hi I just looked at my essay matching thing and it said it is 3% and it is supposed to say 100% according to the example so I was just wondering if something is wrong with my essay.
I couldn’t come to class because I lost my car! By the time I found it, it was buried in so much snow I didn’t get it shoveled out in time.
Hello,
I missed class the other day. Was there anything important that I missed?
Background provided by Instructor: I received this email from one of my graduate students. I am this student’s thesis advisor:
Hey Professor *******
I am available to meet to go over my plans for my thesis any evening after 8pm and on Saturday mornings between 9am-11am or most Sunday afternoons. I can meet you in **** [town 12 miles away], as it is not convenient for me to come to your office on campus.
