I would've killed for that in High School or something, but college is alot more critical thinking and shit, unless we're talking basics like the low level science/math classes we have to take sometimes.
ROFL, very nice

Damnit, that would've been clutch years ago. =( LET US HELP THE PEOPLE ENDURING THE HARDSHIPS NOW BY BLESSING THEM WITH THIS SITE.
Where were you my freshman year of college. Already finished all the Lit./Science class i needed years ago :[
Looks fairly useful for the future though, thanks~
Just links to a bunch of websites that any 3-400 level professor would penalize you for using.
Wikipedia? dictionary.com? Most professors would laugh in my face. Especially at wikipedia.. using that is a big no no. This is more appropriate for high schoolers, or those that only have to take a few literacy and liberal studies credits in college, otherwise I'd recommend hitting up your university's libraries.
The articles you can pull from an electronic library are the best available sources for any professional level prompts.
I just hope this guy isn't trying to give hits to his own website. Don't use this if you're serious about college, it just makes you less prepared for the harder stuff.
You're an idiot. Wikipedia is great for college papers. You can get all of the info you need from the reference pages on the wiki sites with the info...duh.
I'm going to have to agree with Kwijiboe. Steer away from wikipedia for the harder stuff. Teachers can tell and most of mine have said right off not to use it for research.
I use Quickmath.com to check my at-home math tests for any errors. It's worked so far I get nothing but A's.
how is that funny?
Gangzilla needs to gb2azshara.
yyyyeesesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss..
withonly 3 months(less) of HS to go, i will dominate all areas of the mind with my internets
This is what I don't understand. As long as you are not plagiarizing, what difference does it make where you get the answer from? I am sure there is something critical here that I am just not seeing, that's why I'm asking.
How can a professor justify telling you to write a paper on something like, the history of guns, and then say "but I don't want you to use the best reference material available to you, I want you to spend quadruple the time looking through material that isn't as good."
That's just how I see it :\ What difference does it make where you get the technical details from, as long as you don't plagiarize?
Wikipedia isn't a primary source. It'd be like someone using one of your college papers to help write there own, when you technically have no scholarly authority on the aubject.Originally Posted by Swampthing
ooooh. I had always thought of the wiki as an authoritative source, but when you say it like that I can see how it is not. Makes sense now, thanks.
Sure, by like Lbelle said, Wiki requires you to cite your sources. You read Wiki to find where the sources are, not the actual info.Originally Posted by Daydreamer
if you're in a uni or collage that gives you access to it, make http://www.jstor.org your bitch. If you're in any kind of a Humanities or Social Sciences faculty it's a godsend of resources. I fucking hated having do wait for inter-library loans to come through for books and journal articles before I started using jstor.org and other online resources in my late 2nd year.
