People ask me why do I post content on here? Doesn't it help people cheat?
- Not really. If you look at our visitor map for a 7 day period when I wrote this, only 10% of users were from Pennsylvania. The rest come from Fairbanks to Beirut to Bangalore. Below is map of traffic from 2/17/2007 to 2/23/2007. Yes there is a large dot near Philadelphia, but look at all of the smaller dots around the world.
Part of the reason of why I do this site is that the distribution of knowledge in the world is limited. Not everyone has the opportunity to attend a very good public school in an advanced nation with good teachers and a good education system. Not every culture has the same amount of schooling as we do, and the internet represents a way to spread knowledge all over the word. So by making sample questions and course work available on ThePlaz.com, I give others the chance to learn from me, from my teachers, and my peers. You shouldn't copy my work word-for-word and hand it in. That's plagiarism, and we've been against that from our inception. But look at my ideas, my style, links to my sources, and gain knowledge from that. Don't cheat directly, because the only one your cheating is yourself.--Plaz 22:28, 26 February 2007 (EST)
