(14,176 posts)It was supposed to be an explication of one of the poems we'd read and she chose "Ode On a Grecian Urn" by Keats. I knew the poem sounded strange when she started using poetic terms we hadn't covered in class, but what sealed the deal was when I came across the word "satiety." It's such an uncommon word, so I decided to do a search of some of the most suspicious phrases and there it was. On, believe it or not, johnkeats.com. If you're going to cheat, at least make it harder to find it!
I decided to talk to her and see whether she'd fess up, admit the mistake, and we could work something out, but she refused to admit it and, when I asked her what "satiety" means, her definition was the exact opposite of the correct one. She withdrew from the class.
