What? Or do you mean in-depth research? How do you take 15 courses and not have to read an article or two get the page numbers to hit the citation requirements...TSI wrote:

Yeah, when they term it a 'research paper' you're expected to have done some extra research and to provide citations/references. Maybe he lied through entire works cited and listed things he hadn't read and provided false references throughout the papers, I don't know. In that case it's a miracle he didn't get called out at least once in 3 years.Jenspm wrote:

Well yes, of course you're expected to have citations, I meant we've never been given a target number.Pochsy wrote:

Our uni still lashes out the bare minimum and give out styling penalties, since some dickheads have not understood the concept of citation (won't boost your marks, but will take points off for not follow a format).Jenspm wrote:

E.g., 'minimum x citations'
I've alwasy done it the other way around: I write what I know, then look up specific articles/books/whatever that substantiate my arguments for citations. Basically, I've always been in a situation where I choose to write about stuff I know, whether through specific thesis choice or general course choice.Pochsy wrote:

Ah, I get it. Yeah, in that case I pretty well do the same more often than not. Your definition of research is just more narrow than my own. Often it works out that in the process of trying to legitimize my own opinions by finding someone who said it first, I run into an argument I had not considered which can strengthen my position.TSI wrote:

Also, it's such bullshit that you have to reference everything. Why is it that no student is supposedly capable of producing original material? (I'm not talking about empirical evidence, ofc, more about analytical positions or philosophical arguments).

It's only York, which is perhaps my 3rd choice at best. Surprisingly they have a pretty good policy school, which is likely due to the fact that everyone there is already a professional doing a second degree to move within their field. I could apply, but even if I am offered a position (unlikely given demand) it is on the condition that I complete 3 pre-req courses (4th year courses, I think) in which I have to score 85 or above. I don't know how hard that is at York, but I feel it's too much hassle for a school I don't really care to attend in the first place.TSI wrote:
Which school?

I'm glad all the weird Mexicans have stopped calling me now looking for some person whose name doesn't seem to have any nouns from the way it sounds.
They seem to have gotten replaced with "Congratulations, you've won a free trip to ______" calls though
lol I was wondering the same thing.Pochsy wrote:

That's...nope.
Do you mean consonants or vowels?
