Cheating Tips

(I should begin by offering my belated congratulations to Kristin and family.)

Now, in case any of you are planning on taking some classes in the future, or if you want to get started compiling advice for generation BLD 2.0, here's a few tips on cheating in college.

1. Do not plagarize any paper or article that can be located using Google.
2. If you are slapping together a paper from a bunch of different plagarized sources make sure they are about the same topic and take more or less a consistent position on it.
3. Pick papers or articles that use language an undergraduate might possibly understand.
4. Finally, don't plagarize your paper from sources the professor himself posted on Blackboard for you to read.

Really, the only way to successfully cheat is to pay a friend or an online database for a good undergraduate paper. The amonut of time and skill necessary to construct a workable paper from online plagarized sources is greater than the time and skill necessary to write a good original paper.

Ahh, the joys of teaching.

Haha. You also might want to add this to the list:

Don't hand in the same plagiarized paper as someone else IN YOUR CLASS. Yes, this happened to my mom before.
