Post For the Students who hate essays

Hi,

Im in the middle of a thesis and I have been searching for years "and i mean since year 10" for something that can help me write essays and reports, or something to check and see if it can be done better.

Well i think i found something of a godsend. It is only new and has a few tiny glitches, but oh boy is it helpful..

Hope you like

Of course its not 100%, but you cant say it doesnt help when trying to find a good sentence.

Helps me,

Input:
This article emphasizes the key understandings in getting the best media for your Ipod. Mp3 downloads are the cheapest and quickest way to fill your Ipod with the best music and videos you love.

Output:
This article underlines principal arrangements by obtaining the best media for your Ipod. The Mp3 remote loadings are the cheaper manner and fastest to fill your Ipod of better music and videos which you like.

Not too bad id say. Always going to be a cynic though.

Might be handy for lazy high school kids, but in my area, lecturers have a pretty good hold on your writing style and can tell when somethings amiss. Plus it still seems pretty clunky.

and secondally does it give the same answer twice for a written piece of text, because if it does it can guranteed 100% that someone has already fed it through a plagirism checker and has it on file.

Try this one:

Using this easy rewirter tool is just a way for incompetent people who really should not be at university or any other form higher education, because they are unable to have any of their own thoughts or ideas.

The use of this easy tool of rewirter is right a manner for the inefficient people who really should not be at the university or very other a higher education of form, because they cannot have any their own thoughts or ideas.

Yeh good points fairlane. Even so, it is still pretty handy to throw a sentence here and there in to see what it can suggest for you. I find it handy doing it that way.

Its a lot better than Shift-F7 in microsoft word ;p

I heard of a great tool to write essays. Its called intelligence.
Theres also an addon package for it called "Dont Plagerize"

Added free in this package is the "Work it out for yourself Meathead!" system which ensures you know what you are on about before you start writing.

I'm afraid that intelligence has been superseeded by a new model called "waffling." This new model is now used in all Arts and Language based subjects/courses around Australia. Some Engineers and Scientists use the old "intelligence" model but many face substantial criticism for academics for not providing interesting and lengthy enough writing.

Too bad the garbage it spits back is crap. If you think those sentences are good, well good luck submitting it. Then again the way lecturers just scan through what you have written they might not pick up on it anyway.

All hail "Shift+F7" for those times when you have a mind blank after 5 hours of constant writing and cannot think of another word for 'contrast' or 'adversely' or 'further' or 'additionally' and you have used all those words at least twice already...

If you cannot paraphrase an idea, quote it.

This online thing will take longer because you will have to re-write it anyway. But if someone finds it helpful, go for it.

If only the kids these days made the effort to use these ideas. The students in my girlfriends yr 10 english class don't even bother to take out the underlined and highlighted hyperlinks from their copied internet articles.

Of course, you could just put in the original text and put in a reference to the original article and it's then not plagiarism.

I know in most of my subjects they expect 12 sources minimum of a major assignment, perfect footnoting (ie around 30-40 footnotes), quotes dont count for wordlimit and they are super anal about plagarism because of a uni scandal with foreign students. So in order to fill 3500 words in the words of HotXR6 we resort to waffling.

Ahh geeze... If you're not quoting it, you're copying it. I thought all tertiary organisations place a strong emphasis on the importance of quoting and the repersussions of plagiarising. It seems new generations are looking for ways to become even more lazier and not to use their brains. So long for originality.

This is one of the reasons I get frustrated working in group-projects, particularly when you don't get to choose the members participating. Only last week two exchange students I am working with submitted "their work" to me before submission. Straight away I could tell it wasn't their own work because their English in real-life isn't very good whilst the report was superbly written. They didn't deny it was copy and pasted.

Unfortunately it seems to be happening more frequently these days.

Writting essay is easy once you know your topic and have research.

Summarise your point into a series of one line bullet points. These single sentances become the opening line of each of your paragraphs

Expand on each opening sentance with a few more lines with more detailed information. These lines form the paragraph.

A well written essay should be able to sped read by only reading the opening line of each paragraph.

Used this technique always. Helps with writers block a lot. Helps to keep the useless fluff out of your writting as well.
