I know how you feel about being distracted by the internet. I am trying to figure out how to do my advanced dynamics coursework for Monday. Thought I had it but have realised that I have terms in my equations that shouldn't be there so have to re do a few hours work.

I would suggest that you go to your library and get the information you need from books rather than the internet. You will receive a poor mark for your research if it is all from the internet. Ideally you should have a mixture of papers, internet and books and remember to reference everything or you will more than likely receive a mark of 0. Also you can't reference wikipedia. It is not considered a reliable source of information. My uni (and I think most) will give you a 0 mark if you even mention it in a report.

Thanks Rwerry,that Daf was the one my mom had,i was not sure.She really liked it.A very smooth car.She also had the old Austin 1300cc Auto but the Auto box was not very good like the Mini ones.We still somewhere have the Austin but not much left of it.Then she had a very nice H.Imp with gears that was nice.Its great if you get a well balanced Auto the Por. 928 S has a very nice Auto box to.Mine was great to drive and a big top end speed,it had to go and i miss that old girl.Most of the yank cars are Auto,i like the JMC javlin and the 6.6 transam,never had one but mates did and the C.stingray.A bit out my price range at the time.I think our Classic Genson Intersepter was also Auto and build like a tank.To young to know at the time.The Sim-t V6 was also a good Auto a flash plastic pig and yellow.

Very likely. Although I think he's making a rod for his back - all that indecipherable handwriting!

Of course it's still possible to cut and paste (in a figurative sense) in a hand-written document. Putting stuff in your own words and acknowledging reliable sources (as M J W J very wisely recommends) will always get you a better mark, as will digging up information that no one else has come across - the gearless Mini could be a goer in that respect.

Yes,Rwerry and not many would look at the Daf.I did an Assignment when young on Canels and failed with to many quotes.No web in those days to help.If your hand writting is very good and clear,should be liked.You know what people are like if they can not understand it.
