I'm a bot. Don't bug me.

Hmm, that's an interesting one.
I watched a programme the other day about kids turning in term papers/assignments where over 60% had been copied directly from the web.
There are actual websites out there that teachers can enter a student's paper in and it will highlight lines that have been directly copied from text off the web. Bummer for those students who couldn't be arsed thinking for themselves.

Its good those websites exist.... but the internet just makes it easier for poeple to do that *remembers copying out (by hand!!) paragraph or two from a book or two in her time*
Alarm Clocks are for people who don't have kids![]()
Go the iPOD!!! i have one and they are great. Does it help me learn, no not at all

Yeah the odd line here and there was okay but these kids were copying entire essays! Not trying to put anything in their own words at all.Originally Posted by Penny
