(From Kairosnews๐Ÿ™‚

1. Write a craptacular draft full of factual errors, incredible sources, and grammatical/mechanical mistakes.
2. Post it to Wikipedia.
3. Wait a few days and let the community clean it up for you.
4. Turn it in!

Oy.

    Tee hee! There is a certain evil genius behind this. The temptation would be to pass the first person who did this just for being smart enough to come up with the idea. ๐Ÿ™‚ The problem for the student would be that often Wikipedia entries appear high up on Google searches results – it would take minimal effort on the markers part to Google a phrase or two and the student would be busted.

    For some reason this really amused me. I’m still sniggering. ๐Ÿ™‚ Is that the proper response for a serious academic I wonder?
