The Morning Matinee: "Missing Class"

One in our ongoing series:



*

Update: for those not in the know: a quick search of YouTube and academia-related blogs reveals many of these kind of DIY videos. We post them to cheer your spirits. We do not claim them as our own. Only our own we claim as our own. Today's is not one though I had a conversation just like it last week.

Plagiarism is defined in dictionaries as "the wrongful appropriation, close imitation, or purloining and publication, of another author's language, thoughts,
ideas, or expressions, and the representation of them as one's own original work." who created this video

9:39, perhaps you are unfamiliar with the world of viral videos. This particular video is posted in many places, but the only information I can find is that it seems to derive from "jgn840." The latter links to a page that gives little or no information concerning the identify of jgn840. Please note that Rebel Girl normally indicates the site in which she finds "her" videos. It is possible that that information was deleted inadvertently (by me, when, as always, I resize the video to make it fit in the column; I'm what passes for the "tech guy" for DtB). --BvT

I didn't take credit for the video's creation - the reference to an "ongoing series" refers to the recent videos linked from various sources - this one is found on You Tube - click and see for yourself.

The only video I (and claimed) can be found from doing a search on our blog.

Just FYI - Rebel Girl.

BvT made his own videos, you did not. I find it ironic this video is about a student missing class and not putting forth the proper effort. You can't even put forth the effort to mock your own students. Also ironic is the tagline of the product used to create these videos: "If you can type, you can make movies..."
Can you type?

Well, 11:21, I think it's time for you to take a long, quiet walk in the woods somewhere. Why so suspicious, why so mean? Do you *know* Rebel Girl? She's certainly not the plagiarizing type. Not lazy, not dishonest.

On the contrary.

Or is this some inside grudge that I, an outsider, know nothing about?

Anyway, RG, thanks for the good laugh. Been there!
