Ribh's D'Coopage

[Ribh]

The internet changed everything wrt people copying others' words into their own papers.

It's still something I would expect to be taught from the beginning.

I wouldn't be surprised if it is taught but that it's just so easy to copy that more students do it.

The trick is to help young people to know that their brain needs skills and knowledge. And the best way to get skills and knowledge is through doing their own thinking (first) and writing (second). Both thinking and writing are best done slowly.

I get your frustration in being invited to complete the integrity module. You already know that stuff. It's the youngsters the uni is trying to get through to.

@Ribh - could you see the interest in how this is taught now vs 'back in the day' - that might sustain you through the frustration.

Part of my frustration is I keep losing things. I expend so much energy trying to remember how I accessed things last time I'm exhausted before I start. And of course I'm usually lazy & just bookmark but UNE signs me out & then doesn't take me back where I was. I'm thinking I might have been better off on the Distance Programme rather than on~line. No doubt I'll get used to it all but just now it's a bit of a hair tearing process.

I would expect anyone who is doing post~graduate work would know this stuff ~ else how would you get this far? But let's face it ~ it's been decades since I graduated & no doubt a lot has changed.

It seems Éowyn may still have some growing to do.

@BY Bob I hope you are ready for a cat this size.

This is truly frightening!

I think she is perfect now. Perhaps she will stop growing .

Jealous, methinks.....

You will never get me to admit that.

Actions speak louder than words... And lets admit a lap chicken is not all it's cracked up to be. Feet covered in cecal poop on my shoulder is not an all time favourite of mine!

Lol @bruceha2000 No, but the water was warm & I assume soothing on her rather sore bottom.

I think we will need a vet visit for antibiotics. I am not happy with what's going on.

That seems like a good idea. You do not want an internal abcess to form. This is taking too long.

The thing about exiting a situation with nothing is you find yourself without some small but very necessary items. The local newsagent has quite a selection of chicken & barnyard themed kitchen items. I thought these measuring spoons were rather wonderful.
