I got a job tutoring first year students (I'm a masters student), which has really forced me to understand the course material thoroughly. Answering the same questions over and over about report and essay structure, referencing, and the imp

This depends on the school's plagiarism policy - at my university, you're not allowed to reuse your own work. Auto-plagiarism. It's acceptable to cite previous work if relevant, but not to submit the same paper twice.

The question implies that the option you choose reflects your ultimate level of education, thus only one answer should be chosen. I picked three anyway, but I think your poll could be more carefully worded.

True. I was homeschooled, then graduated uni, currently finishing an M.Sc. Do I pick all three options that apply, or just one?

It seems visually awkward to me, but I don't know whether that's a good thing or not. My eye tends to skip over things like 'dashboardly', on the assumption that oddly spelled things are 'gimmicks'. A suggestion - dashboardish.com is availa

I haven't had a chance to go to any academic conferences yet, but I was involved in a discussion regarding networking at conferences with one of my professors [1] earlier this year. Some of his suggestions were, - don't sit with people you

Wikipedia suggests [1] the only non-surgical means of managing plantar fasciitis (i.e. heel pain) is the use of othotics - foot supports. Stretching your calf muscles and the arch of your foot can help in the short term as well. But you don

I think it’s worth spending money on travel, but the amount is determined by how long I have to stay in one place to afford a trip. If a trip to Europe means I have to save up for two years beforehand, chances are I’ll take it off my priori

I'm going to predict that most of the votes will be for INTJ (including mine) or INTP. That said, how valid are the results of the MBTI? I just read the criticism section on Wikipedia ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myers-Briggs_Type_Indicat

If the entire cat population after five years originated from one female I think the total would be somewhat less than that estimated due to negative genetic effects - mainly inbreeding depression: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inbreeding_d

If I'm reading fiction or something that's not too heavy, I tend to read at 800 - 1200wpm. Anything technical or with oddly shaped sentences/paragraphs slows me down to 600 - 800wpm. I'm not sure how many pages/hour that is, but I can finis

Wallet, keys, phone, pocketknife and lip balm in my bag or pockets. Notebook (the paper kind) and MBP if I'm going to uni. I don't own a utility belt (although I would very much like to some days) because I keep my tools at work or in the c

There wasn't anything in there about 'smart' girls. He talked about hot girls, but nothing about meeting and talking to intelligent girls despite the title.
