Penguin_Maz Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Hey! Sorry this may be in the wrong section! And sorry it is written in haste! I'm a technician on the edge.... but then again, in my experience... we all are! I have been a bit of a naughty girl and have forgotten all about an assignment that has to be handed in tommorow morning! Its titled: "Approaches to lighting design" I need some websites that give good information about Rock/Pop concerts, Dance shows and Special events (I'm gonna lean towards archetectural lighting on that one) Has anyone got any good info sites? And does anyone have any info about how they are lit....? Obviously I know how to light them, and if I was put on the job of doing them I would be fine at it - but when it comes to talking about what we do and why........... or rather writing it down....... then my mind comes to an almighty stop and crash's into the inside of my forehead and gives me one hell of a headache!!! Any help would be wonderful!!! Thanks! p.s. Sorry for the abrupt message title! I tried to change it but no such luck Done it for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please don't quote the whole post - it eats up bandwidth and makes the thread harder to read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulears Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 It's also a good test of the person looking at the pile of poo submitted for marking/grading. Last year I went to a college to do some verification - I was looking forward to it because they were using the unit that I had written and they wouldn't know that. One piece of work from one student really impressed me - it had a good grade, and was simply excellent, exactly what I would have written in this case - the problem being, it was EXACTLY what I had written in the Lighting Handbook we used to have available on the net for my own students to access from home. Not linked to from my web site, but google had spidered it and I had forgotten it was even there, just an old file I hadn't bothered to delete. This person lifted the entire thing, and without even bothering to paraphrase it, or use it as a citation based component, just put their name on the top of the document and claimed it as their own. The teacher hadn't noticed the layout, language and style were not quite typical for this bloke! One question we always ask is was there enough time for the student to do the work - the answer is always yes. I have never worked out why this always means "oh dear, it has to be in on Monday, I'l knock it up from the net on Sunday evening!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jivemaster Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 In written work the blank page is the most perfect blocker, it blocks ideas. Take a blank sheet and "deface" it! Write the working title and the chapter/section headings and some key wordsfor each, use the best references to check the spellings. Once you have broken this plain white blank sheet staring back at you, reinforcing your blankness, the opening and format of your document should start to flow. For the final version the working title could change to a more polished version,and all the ideas must be presented in an order that the reader will find logical, then a summing up and conclusion, show what you have learned from your labours. There are very few truly original ideas, BUT the original use or interpretation of a cited and acknowledged quote can be a very valid development of the state of (your) art. Plagarism, -passing off others work as your own- is sometimes detected and can even lead to expulsion from your establishment. If you need to copy acknowledge it and use the idea to develop your ideas. Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jivemaster Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Academia actually has software to scan suspect plagiarism and look for the original on the net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zonino Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 which is why universities (well the majority of them anyway) now insist all coursework is typed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkPAman Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Though if the student doesn't even bother to remove copyright info you don't need this. I have seen it done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
