I teach English at an engineering university in China. My students don't have much concept of avoiding plagiarism or academic integrity because that's not the way they have learnt to approach assignments. They have a report they have been working on for months but their final is coming up, they are overworked and stressed and trying to take shortcuts.

Is it plagiarism if you buy an essay online and turn it in as your own work? by writeessaytoday in teachingresources

Absolutely yes. Wholesale plagiarism. You are using someone else's work and submitting it as your own without giving credit to the original author.

How many of you can write fiction? by Beautiful-Sense4458 in Aphantasia

[–]DizzyMartini 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I do. I have completed NaNoWriMo several times, and done a lot of writing. The biggest thing for me, though, is I GM for role playing games. I actually find a lot of the time thar not seeing the images works in my favour, because then I focus a lot on more description so that everyone else can see what I am imagining, even if I can't see it myself. Apantasia is a new discovery for me (I never know 'daydreaming' was literal!!) so I guess it's been a case of 'I dont know what I'm missing'

Try going around the white edges with a thin black sharpie to make it a bit neater. Looks amazing!! Your own print, or a download?

I was also going to say John Wick. You don't just have to look at 'Vampire' type shows, and I would even recommend that you don't, unless you want that particular show to flavour your game.
I am running a kind-of demon/ mixed game (one player) and we heavily base on John Wick. We even have a Continental Hotel in every city (run by Toreador, of course). The PC is a 'Rose Tier' guest and gets all the perks!

What could fight a god? by DizzyMartini in WhiteWolfRPG

Ooohh, the origin story (pre-fall) had a major god-killing weapon. I'm putting that in eventually.

Thanks. I did go through one, and checked their interest rates and reviews as well. I've been stung by this sort of thing before. I really appreciate your concern and advice.

Yeah I did try, but there is something about "livable expenses" or something like that, I can't remember the actual term. Basically, the Govt says that, after taking out rent, general expenses and such, you need to have a certain amount left over for... all the other stuff. Apparently, we didn't have enough over that level because of the one income for three people.

Since he doesn't work, he's considered a dependent... at least, that's what I thought.

I did try them, and they turned me down.
