Yeah I know... I'm trying to calm down...Originally posted by LazerLordz:Dump the bugger after this..
You need to calm down. It won't be any good trying to edit something on an angry mind and elevated BP. Tea is a good way of lowering that..
It doesn't help that in the Whinehouse thread, there are some fellas who actually claim that what the guy did was right and was not tantamount to plagiarism.
Pfft. When you grab a passage from elsewhere and claim it as your own work, that's plagiarism, pure and simple. The right way to do it is to write everything in your own words as much as you can and cite your sources of information.
I don't believe I'm being unreasonable here. I'm not making the guy rephrase technical terms. I can still accept that some coincidences are inevitable, especially when it comes to simpler sentences.
But lifting entire sections of text and passing it off as your own - that's plagiarism. It doesn't matter whether you cite it or not. The only time when you can lift sections of passages would be quotations - and what he did weren't quotations at all. -
also can. i didn't say anything wierd right?Originally posted by CoolMyth:You want me to copy and paste here?

As per request:Originally posted by starblue:also can. i didn't say anything wierd right? liddat is good meh?? then we'll never have the motivation to go find a mate. and translated into evolutionary terms, that means our genetic fitness will be equals to zero leh... which also means that our parents' fitness also gets reduced dramatically leh...
I dun quite get it. -

oh boy.. that must have hurt a lot.Originally posted by starblue:how i know?? i drinking drinking then suddenly saw this very useful paper to cite then in my excitment, i forgot to close my glottis before swallowing. end up one sizeful amount of green tea proceeded down my windpipe.
yah loh... i'm like plagarising from a lot of sources liddat. one phrase here, one phrase there. then end up must cite a lot of papers.

oh.... paiseh... cos now i'm in the evolution lab. and i'm doing the evolution urops. so a bit zou2 huo3 ru4 mo2...Originally posted by CoolMyth:I dun quite get it. but u know Darwin right? he's the one who came up with the whole natural selection and fitness sht. -

Pardon my n00bness... but what's 'zou2 huo3 ru4 mo2'? -
and wow... i've got 300 words for my introduction already.
or should i say 300 words only. considering i've been on it for the past 1.5 hours. T~T
but i guess i am on the right track. cos the word limit is 600 words. and this complete half of the intro is on the gene i working with. then the next half gang gang hao can use to discuss phylogeny. wuhoo.... -
It's not n00bness, it's understandable.Originally posted by fudgester:*me rubs chin*
Pardon my n00bness... but what's 'zou2 huo3 ru4 mo2'?
'zou2 huo3 ru4 mo2' = going out of control/turning to the dark side. -

Speaking of which....
.... I'll be starting on all-out revision for the end-of-semester exams tomorrow.
My revision will have to take place concurrently with my ongoing projects.

And now, even in schools, natural selection is at work, average poly applicants are getting wiped out by higher scorers!!!Originally posted by starblue:
Nuuuu!!!

My next week will be exciting. Presentation + Interview by Profs. woohoo!

according to my numerous past experiences and professional perception, all-out revisions never get executed concurrently with other projects and assignments. Murphy Law #7382 also states that one will never put all of one's eggs in one basket when there are other baskets around.Originally posted by fudgester:Speaking of which....
