OK, I'm a slug when it comes to homework - but I now have to 'magic up' around 5000 words in under 2 days, can it be done or am I faced with another year redoing the thing I should have done the year before?

The Zohan

Of course it can be done. It is called 'plagiarism' and Google is your friend


Or suck it up, stop playing on SN and do some real work!!!

20 hours - only 250 words an hour.

That just a couple of Muslim threads on Snet

It can be done - I have recently managed something very similar (2 assignments 4500 and 1500 including the research in a week with work stuck in the way), but the quality of the argument may be lacking. It all depends upon whether you want a pass or a distinction

Just get lots of coffee/red bull in

The Word Count facility has a lot to answer for

In the "old days" a bit of playing around with line spacing and fonts could result in an impressive looking document but few words.

And don't forget, it is +/-10% so you can do it in 4500 words.

What's the subject? We could all chip in 100 words to help you out

True.

I think the word count is a little silly. It should be a rough guide, but quality should always come before quantity.

You should have got me to write it for you, I'd easily reach that and in probably less than the time you have. It would probably be ****, and no conclusion reached, but the word count would be there.

I can ban you from here for 48 hours if that helps

It might be possible; epecially if you can cut and paste loads of quotes (remember to reference it to avoid plagiarism Harvard reference system is often preferred )

I did my university dissertation in less than a week 25,000 words of it, so you should be fine. I made up the research and still got 50% for it That's not bad considering it should have been worked on for a whole year!

David Lock

Track down Moses and ask him to reply. He could write for England (well maybe not England but you know what I mean)

18 years ago, I went to University of Westminister, on a IT degree. For my dessertation, I went back home, near Brighton, went to my local University, University of Sussex, and took out lots of previous years projects from their library, and copied the lot.

Managed a 2.1 ! :-)

Nowadays, everything is on the net, so dip your bread. For the whole of my working life, I plagiarise everything.

So you are a consultant then?

JonMc

iTrader: (51)

Clearly not, the research needed to be able to plagiarise is too much hard work for a consultant

zip106

So we taxpayers paid you for cheating, then?

Stoodents, eh?
Next thing you know they'll be riot... oh, hang on.....

Clarebabes

I should have got a degree for initiative

When I was at Uni, I regularly worked through the night and wrote 4000 words in one go......and usually got a B as a minimum.

FPMSL don't "they" have software now though that trawls the net looking to see if students have just hit copy then paste ...

Yes they do, but if you upload your own work to check it, when the Uni does the check it will shown yours as 100% copied and they then have to manually check it. As long as you reference your work correctly you can use as much of other peoples work as you like if it frames and adds to your argument

DCI Gene Hunt

Made good progress so far - just 4,786 to go

Leslie

He could set it all up and then join them TX

I'd get more sense out of them than you lot

PS - Thank you for all the kind words (and ways to cheatimprove my wordcount)

It is about a hour of talking slowly. Get to it, and send the audio to India and see what you get back.

Blast from the past there. He could fill an A4 page with 2 font drivel in about 5 minutes, and none of it would make sense.

Dedrater

Well, as I have come through that process (Taught GNVQ, A level and sort of, HND, briefly in all and insofar culminated in me being M.Phil in Information Technology Law (EU), I will offer a brief insight to the plagiarism checker at different levels of education.

GNVQ - Aslong as it doesn't look like anyone else's in the year, or the year before = fine.

A Level - If a vocational paper is unmatched throughout or obviously abrupt in it's meaning to examiners and moderators = fail.

HND - Personally, I don't really know, provision of marking schemes and guidelines, basically continuity in the work, probably = pass

....... This is when they start using the most powerful search engine in existence, Google.

For instance, putting + before synonyms or * within a query.

Uni - Year 3-4, Dissertation. Obvious really, a treatise on a subjecy matter, purely in your own words, thus you fully understand = pass

Msc and beyond, you are subject to Journal and Whitepaper, if you copy but then present as your own, you are a tit and will never have a job in the position you have aimed for.
