Club 30's "Kill the Boredom Demon" Jive Pad, 30th Edition

NUS has a tie-up with an online anti-plagiarism service: www.turnitin.com. The profs make us hand in our papers in soft copy format and check for plagiarism using this service.Originally posted by Fatum:I'm at work right now ... but there's a section on google help on advanced google techniques ....
you can look for webpages and links with entire pages of text as parameters ...
how do you think profs who cannot afford those nifty software and expensive services catch people ? ..
This service is damn freakin' powerful. From what I know, it has a huge database of online scholarly articles, research papers and the like which is rapidly expanding. If you so much as lift a sentence from an article, it will be able to root you out. Heck, even if you change a few words in the sentence, the service may still be able to determine if the sentence was lifted in the first place.
I should know, because I've had to upload it to turnitin before. It gave my paper a plagiarism rating of 10%. But my prof accepted that it was due to some (properly cited) quotations by some individuals that I had included in the paper, as well as the chance that some sentences simply cannot be expressed in more than one way.
And besides, like I said, I doubt that my team member would have been so diligent to actually add hyperlinks to key terms in his text if he had typed it from scratch.

wah ... like that then some foreign students must be getting their balls squeeze really hard, eh ? ...Originally posted by fudgester:NUS has a tie-up with an online anti-plagiarism service: www.turnitin.com.

I don't know about them, and I honestly don't care.Originally posted by Fatum:wah ... like that then some foreign students must be getting their balls squeeze really hard, eh ? ...
I'm gonna confront this team member of mine tomorrow with the evidence of the hyperlinks. If I can find the original article, all the better. I don't give a sh*t as to what kind of excuse he's gonna give... I'm gonna demand that he rewrites his part of the group term paper in his own words from scratch.
If he does not accede to my demands, there will be hell to pay...

you know what I do when it comes to such members ? ...Originally posted by fudgester:I don't know about them, and I honestly don't care.

I just put down their role as "team population support" ... -
FARK !!! ...
*curse and swear ....
I'm still stuck in the orpid ... cos some engineers doing testing raised a whole catalogue of bugs on my system ....
so far every single one of them are non-issues at all ... but came about because they didn't read the design specs carefully enough !!! .....
-
Bingo. I used Google Advanced Search.
It turns out that he grabbed at least some of the passages from all sorts of scholarly articles... as well as Wikipedia.
Ok good... I'll have a huge ass load of evidence with which to confront him tomorrow. He's dead meat.
For goodness' sake... this module is Engineering Professionalism! We learn all about ethics in engineering in this module! Certainly plagiarism isn't one of the hallmarks of ethical behaviour, eh?
Anyway, many thanks for your help, Fatum. -
I was wondering why devil was suddenly so interested to be reaquainted with the Club30s people out of the blue.
So how? Has he tried to show up at Club 30s outings yet or still playing the hit and run game where he happily suck on the other people balls and then go and go and try to tweedle other people's balls with his puny stick?
Sorry, dam....its funny. For a guy who dont dare to face up to a small petite fat female face to face, much less on the phone. He sure likes to behave like he could take on the real world.
Right....I went shopping today instead of with the family & grandparents to strawberry farm. Shopping therapy is good!
And hisoka, Candy factory sells about 50 kinds of jelly beans, what flavour you want? If I mixed them, wait you cant tell the difference in flavour. So how? Or you want the generic flavours from Walmart? -

Where got cheapOriginally posted by Kenashi:NTUC sucks
insurance ask a lot of questions n kept holding out payment for policy
supermarket priced items so exp, still dare to say their prices r cheap
Actually if they're cheap, all the chap huey tiam would be dead long ago
Actually they order merchandise in bulk, so that gives them the economics of scale as well as the better power of bargaining of price with the supplier compared to the chap huey tiam
But well... -
I only turn to NTUC only because I was too lazy to keep track of various insurances.
And NTUC offers really cheapo skills training course.
Like $38/- for how to use powerpoint.
(I couldnt get to skip to Intermediate so I LL attended one course, then I found more info using a Dummies Guide.)
But got certificate leh.....can show off to people.

I feel that it is a shame that things have reached such state.
I convey my sincere apologies to you on the behalf of all moderators in Aunt Agony.
It is saddening to see this matter a on-going issue and blown out of proportion. And i regret to admit that i have indirectly(or directly somehow) have a part to play for this state of mess.
I also wish to offically apologise to all Club 30 forumers and AA forumers for all the trouble caused.
Pleae accept my sincere apologies.
Regards. -
cos they have a profit margin to protect, so must be exp.Originally posted by sbst275:Where got cheap

But well...
from what i heard from my friend who audited part of their group, they mark up at least 3 times the cost price -
That's only for SKU under category like mop, sponge, stationaryOriginally posted by Kenashi:cos they have a profit margin to protect, so must be exp.
from what i heard from my friend who audited part of their group, they mark up at least 3 times the cost price
If not, like for canned drink, their margin is like 75% -

Read today's paper.... More and more ppl who qualify for JC courses are ditching it for polytechnic... -
cos nowadays its not as easy for jc pple to go uni/not as hard for poly pple to go uni.Originally posted by sbst275:za ki hoh

and however you look at it, if you suay suay don't go uni, a poly diploma is way ahead of a A lvl cert -
As far as I know, Poly grads if they were to go for Uni open hse, they might still get discriminatedOriginally posted by hisoka:cos nowadays its not as easy for jc pple to go uni/not as hard for poly pple to go uni.

Maybe it just takes time for society to change

hehehe...i know quite a lot of pple with single digit points going to poly...
in fact a knew a bunch of 6 pointers who decided that it was either AC or poly.
but they all got into AC in the end lah... -
Some of the poly courses, that day I kpo kpo go see the cut off pt, it's like you must get A1 or A2 to get inOriginally posted by udontknowme:hehehe...i know quite a lot of pple with single digit points going to poly...

well truth is jc is probably better for the more academically inclined.Originally posted by sbst275:As far as I know, Poly grads if they were to go for Uni open hse, they might still get discriminated
Maybe it just takes time for society to change
but as i said it might even be faster via poly and you have a back up plan if you don't do well. during my time never thoguth of poly cos jcs was like automatic entry into uni at about 80 or 90% rates of entering uni
