so i finally got in touch with him at about 1 pm this afternoon...

he said "Oh hi matt, i just wanted to remind you to pick your paper up, weve had it here for a few weeks after handing it out, but you werent here that day"

i say "oh, i just thought you never handed it out"

him "also, i had a question about your sources. Your first couple of paras get into some really intricate rhetorical analysis and i dont think you could have thought of that yoursel"

me "i didnt use any outside sources. well, i used a rhetorical dictionary of terms i guess"

him "thats a source, just bring it in on monday, and have a great weekend"

me "okay bye"

overall tone of prof i would say was...jolly.

a lot of worry for what seems like not a very big deal...

thoughts?

This seems really weird. Be prepared for anything when you go into the office. This seems really unprofessional, is your prof a grad student or something?

yeah, I'd keep your head on, but I certainly would not expect anything too crazy. take in that dictionary you uses and call it good. seems like he was just being nice.

Some general ideas for papers may have come off the itnernt, but def no blatant or semi cheating at all.
I dunno what to think.

if you really didnt cheat, and your grades are fine, there is nothing to worry about... its possible he actual wants you as a TA or to do some research with him bc you are so awesome


..... on second thought you probably are failing and/or plagiarized the [censored] outta your paper
