Dear students of the world. You are all beautiful people engaged in the complex task of improving yourselves as individuals. This is a laudable goal. In order to achieve this goal please don’t regurgitate information from the Internet.
The Internet (and the web in particular) are really good sources of information, however if you don’t understand what a question asks how do you know whether to reproduce the definition of atomic fusion from www.bobs a mad mad thing.com or from www.alice knows best.info?
Use the web (particularly Wikipedia) as a source for information, as a starting point. From there gather more concrete resources such as books and academic papers. Please don’t copy-and-paste answers, particularly when they’re wrong
Have to agree. E.g. Wikipedia is notorious for being used as holy writ even though there’s huge inaccuracies in some of the entries.
People need to show some independent thinking… that’s why plagarism is against the University rules. They’re looking for YOUR ideas, not someone elses.
i agree the internet is benefical but it can become addictive
