Back in the day, before Wikipedia and before papers were downgraded for copying, 1998 i think. I had to write a paper on the redvelopment of Wembley stadium here in London. It was for my geography A-level and i had 9 months to do it becuase it was worth 40% of the total grade. Many days were spent on sex, drugs and alcohol and i realized on the last day that i had actually done nothing towards this paper. I went on the internet with my trusty 56k modem and found a proposal thingy with all the information and questions, surveys, maps, plans and social/economic factors of the the redesign. I printed the whle thing out and put my name on it and submitted it. I recieved a total mark of 236/240 or something like that helping me to one of my 3 A grade A-levels. Cheating does prosper :P
Anyway these days i spend all day on wikipedia learning so much new information because i enjoy it, i am a geek. To get some good karma back i wrote a paper for my neighbour when he was at university and got him a top grade. I wrote the paper at lunchtime at work just on the knowledge from Wiki over the few years so it proves if you want to learn you will and there is no need to copy. But if all else fails some downright dirty cheating and stealing can suffice in some instances. :P
If you have to copy these days print the wiki article out and copy it but change every sentance and paragraph and change pictures/graphs. Then you are including the correct information but not just copying it. Also by reading and re-writing you are actually learning that information too.
Through cheating for tests at school i learnt more than if i had just revised. Plus the elaborate schemes me and my friends had should be rewarding of an A-grade just for effort.
I have just rambled on and i don't remember what i have even typed. I better end here. Damn vodka redbulls.
