 so. i have a test tommorow. apart from 3 chapters in a book i need to read 22 articles. now, i don't have any notes, or time to read every single article. All i need to know about each article is its thesis.

So here comes a social experiment, can I successfully use a forum community to pass the test?
My grade depends entirely on you.

this is a list of articles.
take the first article. figure out the thesis. post it. 
next person does same for 2nd.
Good Luck!

I recommend 4chan. You won't be any more successful, but at least the answers will be funnier (and the insults more imaginative).

How about you stop being a slob and actually read for your tests? I'm not trying to be funny, I merely think you are an idiot for trying to cheat on a test like this.

Heh. Is the guilt trip part of the social experiement? ;)



Most of the articles are political in nature, and most of the regulars here know that political discussion is not allowed. I don't expect you'll get much of a response here, because they will wisely avoid commenting on them, even enough to give a summary.

Eh... how exactly are the Christians helping you? There are 3 responses and all of them say: "I will pray for you"? I don't doubt their good intentions, but in terms of real qualified help on a school test, prayer only gets you so far. But honestly, read for your next test, kiddo. It never hurt anybody to be prepared.

How much time did you have to study, read, and prepare for this exam, and how much of that time did you spend playing Dragon Age instead?

none
i haven't played dragon age for two weeks.
i think reading the articles would take about 4-5 hours while reading the 3 chapters only took 1 hour
just gonna get the article questions wrong since my euro test is more important

That's because that is the forum he posted in. It was natural to assume that's what he was looking for.
