sharing information



Now this is a good idea. Getting students to share together and set up study groups. But, is it necessary to use money and points in the UK to do so? Maybe it is in individualistic cultures. Maybe it wouldn't be necessary in Asia or the Middle East where people might just want to help each other. Who knows??? The site aims at University students, summaries are submitted from papers. I had look at one from a student at our uni and it was 'summarised' word for word from the original academic paper. Would we really chose to study by avoiding the actual reading, and explanation that goes with it? Some of us would...not me you understand, definitely not...

  1. Hi Pauline,
    You suddenly disappeared. We heard nothing from you for a long time. What is going on there?
