Hi guys. Im new here. Im looking for a bit of help. I am a researcher at
the University of Glamorgan in Wales. There is a bit of an important
project in development concerning garden tools. Dont spose any of you
people are interested in helping by just posting you opinions on some
of the following issues?:


What's behind this research? Was it commissioned by commercial interests?
Is it for a college course? If so, what course?


Don't know how I survived my research career without the internet. These
kids today think all they have to do is push a few keys on their computer
to solve all their problems

Almost.

An acquaintance of mine taught a senior level research methods course, and
informed the class that if anyone plagiarized anything from the web, they'd
flunk the course, no matter how high their grade was on previous work.
School policy. Two students thought she was kidding, and in their final
paper for the course, they cut & pasted stuff right off the web. They
flunked, they complained, they needed the course to graduate. Oh well.
