  • Use Google to search for homework help - plenty out there e.g.
    http://www.homeworkelephant.co.uk/ or
    http://www.channel4.com/learning/microsites/H/homeworkhigh/
    should get you started.

    Cheers

  • I would advise the OP to tell her daughter to go to the library! She'll only be cheating herself if she tries and finds someone or something on the internet to help her and for me that defeats the real purpose of studying and attending uni/college! She'll also gain a far better understanding of whatever it is she's been asked to write about.

    If she's still struggling after doing that then tell her to speak to her tutor as that is what they are there for!
  • What does the essay need to be about? and at what level? (GCSE, A-Level, degree?)

    The sites I suggested do not supply scripts or answers just a way to find them which all students should master.

    As a real books person I agree with your comments BUT the internet is a library - far more extensive, faster and easier to access than local libraries (who also provide access to it) - wish it had been there when I did my degrees.

    Any valid research medium should be used but not to plagiarise which is what I think you were getting at above.:xmassmile

    thanks for the help - to those who think the only reason people log on is to get the answers - you are wrong - it only guides the students - just like having dad help you with your homework did....

    her essay is rather a confusing one with a longwinded title - something like WHAT IS THE EFFECT OF GLOBALISM ON THE SHOPPING TRENDS OF THE UK COMPARED TO THE EFFECTS IN OTHER PARTS OF THE WORLD....or something to that effect - cannot remember now....

    anyways, when she came home she went into her room and fathomed it out - so, she has the first chapter done now at least....

    thanks

    I got an essay from ebay, and before anyone shouts at me its in the same field I'm doing but a totally different topic. I used the library and the net to do all my research on my subject, but I am doing my degree part time, I have never written at degree level, and we get no help with how to write essays. I bought one just to see the format and structure and what sort of way to write at this level. I have also bought a book from Amazon Guide to essay writing (due tomorrow I hope!). I have no intention of plagiarising as I will have learned nothing, but it does help to see how others write.
    I love this board, have "virtually" met so many lovely people, people I am honoured to count as friends.

    It doesn't matter if you buy an essay, and quote from it or use info from it.. It's plaigarism if you try and pass the work off as your own. As long as you quote the source, then you're fine!

    (just make sure the source is credible-or right!)
