Comical. Back in the day, when I had to write research papers I would go to Wikipedia by copying the citations verbatim, outline the page, and then essentially rewrite the whole thing in my voice but keeping the exact quotes from the original article since they were cited.
At that point, 70% of the hard work is done and you're just regurgitating. Liberal arts is long dead.
- esafak 3y agoSo why did you study it?
- freitzkriesler2 3y agoI'm surprised people have to ask this. To clear a prerequisite requirement for the degree program which I considered a waste of time and money — the forced prerequisite that is.
- vkou 3y agoCongratulations on... Cheating yourself out of actually researching the material? Of learning something? Why pay to go to school if you're just regurgitating a Wikipedia page? Wikipedia's free.
- freitzkriesler2 3y agoTo bypass the obnoxious prompt HR wheenies use to filter job applicants, duh. As for feeling cheated, yeah I do feel cheated considering the astronomical tuition for BS make work prerequisite liberal arts classes. But the income i make nowadays covers it entirely. And I still learned something since I had to rewrite the Wikipedia article, but believe me there isn't anything to be learned grinding away doing regurgitation research. For the record, college liberal arts don't teach you how to think, they teach you WHAT to think and if you deviate from that you get a reduced grade. I wouldn't have qualms cheating my way into a degree program either if the opportunity presented itself. In world of cheats, thiefs, and late stage capitalism the honest man is the fool.
