Firstly, citing wikipedia as a source is a complete joke (which you already acknowledged as poor practice yourself, so you're not stupid), but also your sentence structure, vocabulary and clarity of idea seem fairly poor compared to essays I've read in the past. You seem to make a lot of unverified assumptions in simplistic black and white terms, i.e "A commercially viable fusion reactor would solve our global warming problem" or "the supply of fossil fuels is gradually wearing away so that by 2200 ("Fossil Fuel," 2006), the earth will have none left"
I'm sorry if you find my remarks offensive, because no one really likes their work picked on, but yeah, just putting it out there.
Do you work hard on submissions or are you the kind of lazy prick that writes it at 4am the night before it's due, like I used to at school? |
It was actually my first freshman paper ever written for college, so yea, wasn't a shining example of academic work..
And yes, I'm a procrastinator! I try not to be, but sometimes, I finish a paper the day it's due. I really really really hate APA sourcing. I'de be nice if we could source like wikipedia, using little numbers which refer to a specific source.
I still use wikipedia for research (for convenience), but I never source it. Wikipedia articles generally do a good job of providing sources, so I follow those.
