Last Minute Term Papers

Marydee @ 9:19 am

Some things are just infuriating to me. I stumbled over a posting on The How-To Blog on “How to Write a Last-Minute Paper.” Now I do realize that students to tend towards procrastination when it comes to writing papers and I appreciate that this post stresses the importance of research before settling down to an all-nighter devoted to writing the paper. But, really, this sentence just makes me fume. “Search engines like Google.com can locate any scholarly web pages on the subject, and many schools provide off-campus access to scholarly article databases such as Ebsco.” OK, nice plug for EBSCOhost, but any scholarly article through Google? I think not.
