i do that 2 but i go 2 uts

i did it for an essay n got full marks so im assuming some tutors don't check

i theorise that if the tutor has like 120 essays 2 mark or something, theyre not guna bother cuz i wouldnt lol

i just make sure the references i take from the presribed text are correct, cuz if theyre guna check any, its likely 2 be from there

tutors usually have read alot of material before so they will know if you plagerised material. However, inregard to quoting imaginary stuff, what the point. You may as will treat the imaginary stuff as your own inteletual property since you thought of it.

Markers have a broad knowledge of relavent material regarding set essay questions. They will only check if the source is suspicious, and they can usually tell. :)

why did you bother asking if you had already made up your mind?
