How the web
destroys the quality of Students Research Paper.
- David Rothenberg
In this essay Prof. Rothenberg has a display
the harmful effects of the use of external specially for the students. The writer
has claimed that plagiarism (copying) has lost the sense of originatily. Infact
his experience with the last semester students clarify that the students were
eager to download the materials without mentioning their sources likewise all
the references were take from the external and the students even didn’t know
where they exactly accured.
For the ever growing use of
the web, the students themselves aren’t fully responsible because the
universities themselves teach the students ,” Don’t read, Just connect”.
Instead of searching the materials in the labraries, it is easy for the
students to cut and paste.
The university teachers must
be friendly with the students and they must encourage the students to read
books from the libraries and consult the related journals when the teachers
give pressure to the students they are likely to download the materials form
the web that helps them to secured a good grade and avoid the pressure of the
teacher.
It is also necessary that
libraries must be mad up-to-date. It is better to invest on buying book than
spending so much money for computer.

According to the writer , he is given
hundreds of research papers by the final years students. He would like to read
all of them and eraluat them but he knows that this papers aren’t the original
creation of the students for they were down loaded from the web.
It was abuious that the downloaded
materials lost their originality due to which writing of the students lost
coherence (unity).
While looking at the papers the writer
noticed that all the works cited from the web and they were written during to
months. It clarified that the students were missing the general trend of the
past and they also failed to make their papers specific. Neither they were able
to take any authentic writers. For their citation nor were they able to give
credit to the owner of the material.
In the research papers the beautiful
pictures had been quited but those pictures were the result of copy cut and
paste. Besides random quotations were found but the sources weren’t maintain.
Prof. Rotherberg Denigh that he is a
new – luddile but against the idea of misusing the technology. In other words,
he believes that the students quality should not be damaged by so – called
industrialization.
After finding out the errors with
students. The writer talks about the causing factors for their flight. First of
all. Universities themselves are responsible because they are trying to show
themselves modernize and spend a huge amount for the computers. The slogan
“don’t read, first connect “. Encourages the students to download the materials
rather than creat their own ideas. Sincilarly the teachers are unable to
provide adequate information to the students the result in downloading the
materials. Specially the students of second language download the materials
hsow as to secure a good grave in their exams.
Therefore the students must be made
aware about the harmful effects of downloading the materials and they must be encouraged
to use libraries free – entry.
