Subject: Survey of Western Art Objective: 5 page research paper on any specific period of history before 1300 CE Due Date: Nov. 19th, 10 50 a.m. Problem: I'm an idiot I can't find any good sites to help my write my paper Overall Feelings as of This Moment: FML & FML
Most important: don't panic. Worst thing that happens if you can't finish your paper is you get a bad grade. It's not the end of the world. Why don't you get buy some books from Kindle Amazon for your iphone/ipod touch... buy Kindle Amazon through itunes...then buy a book(s) if you have the money... Browsing, I found a book could Western Art History Guide (Kindle Edition). Might be helpful to you. Even if you can't submit the paper on time... you might get partial credit submitting it late... Hope you learned your lesson and don't wait till the last minute next time a paper is due...
Well I have the book the class designated, but I can't use it as a source, and its retarded that I can't find what I need on the internet. I thought thats what it was for -_- lol. And yea I've considered turning it in late along with a couple extra credit assignments seeing as its 3 a.m. and I've made zero progress..lol Unfortunately, I'm a LFL [Lagger For Life] procrastination is my best friend, yet my worst enemy. Thanks for the suggestions though, didn't know about Kindle.
Ughhh I wish. My teacher was like, well this is a research paper, so Wiki won't really be a good enough source. I was like damn..btw, what's the name of the theory that says if anything can go wrong at the worst possible moment, it will? Cause..since I don't have Word installed on my Mac, I have to use my old Dell laptop to type it, but the battery went out a long time ago so it has to stay plugged into the charger. However, it doesn't always work, so I have to keep plugging the charger in and taking it out till it works. I've been doing it for 20 mins. It still won't work. I am now a firm believer in that theory.
Ahh thats right it was on the tip of my tongue. Anyways, I knew that there had to be some form of typing program, but I Spotlighted it but nothing came up, even though its supposed to be installed on Macs..
Two free alternatives to Microsoft Office: http://www.neooffice.org/neojava/en/index.php http://www.openoffice.org/ And... umm... how about this? http://www.visual-arts-cork.com/history-of-art.htm Shot in the dark, just trying to help.
Hate OpenOffice..but never heard of Neo, dling now. Thanks for the links. The 3rd link could be helpful, some good info in there. Thanks
You think that's hard? Sheesh, I just had to do a 15 page empirical research activity report for Psychology studying the sexism in males and females ages 13 and 17. Although you have one day to finish, I had a week. Were you given time to finish it before today or just given one day to complete it?
No it just sucks that I hate comparing art. Not my strongpoint lol. And I was definitely given enough time to finish it, I just lagged last minute things came up and..time ran out lol.
A 5 page paper is nothing really, but the research is a pain. Well, since you've probably already turned it in, or just given up, I'll just say for future reference that a lot of libraries have access to not only the books held within the buildings, but online resources as well. And not this wiki-diki garbage, but actual databases for academic journals, books, magazines, etc. Also, even though wiki itself is not a great source, it does have references at the bottom of the page, which lead to better sources, mostly.
You're a dumbass. I had to write a paper on Sweden that included 25 different topics, two paragraphs per topic. I had about a month, so I tackled a topic a day. The paper was so thick, I had to use an office clamp instead of stapling it together, and ended up getting nearly full credit. A 5 page paper is nothing, and if you have a week, an intro is a joke to write, do about 3 body paragraphs one day, another 3 the next, double space, make the punctuation bigger (text is 12, make the commas and periods 16), and use an automatic works cited generator for your work cited page.
Yea that was my problem, I have no problem writing papers, oddly, its one of my few academic strongpoints lol. It was finding viable sources that made it so hard, which sucked because I've never had so much trouble. I didn't know that Wiki had sources at the bottom..I'll definitely remember that for future reference. Btw, I didn't turn it in, 1] I didn't finish 2] I stayed up late and slept till noon. Rofl. Hey hey, no need for the vulgar language [lol] I don't mind writing papers, its just the research. Actually, just this class. I hate it with a passion. I have no idea why I took it, I should've just taken painting lol.
