Does that matter? - the aim might be to get the student to do some research rather than regurgitate facts that can be 100% right or not. The tutor might be looking for how widely the student reads using reliable references to substantiate their argument.	johnd (85)

The ability to research a topic is sadly missing from today's students.	vitalstatistix (9182)

Simply because no one knows the future, and any answer here could go on for pages and pages - looking / searching then putting it into a persons own words would suggest the background work has been done and hopefully understood. To many times these days people simply look up a answer - copy paste and hand it in as there own work without the actual knowledge being gained. Actually heard that at my sons school, he told me with a grin two students in his class looked up something about whales for an assignment copied pasted from the same site and both handed in the exact same thing word for word. They were made to go and redo it in their own words. He made the comment just as well he didn't do that, other wise he would be " in for it"	wainuitech (129)
