Don't TurnItIn
On October 15, 2002, in its attempt to combat plagiarism (/'pledʒə’rɪzəm/抄襲；剽竊；剽竊作品), the Dalhousie University Senate announced that they had contracted (與…訂立合同（或契約）) TurnItIn.com, an American web-based company, to check digital copies of student papers against a database of essays. This decision arose out of a new policy set at the Senate's June 24 meeting. The TurnItIn.com database will be composed of, among other things, papers submitted by Dalhousie University and University of King's College students.

A self-serving bias occurs when people attribute(歸因) their successes to internal or personal factors but attribute their failures to situational factors beyond their control. The self-serving bias can be seen in the common human tendency(傾向) to take credit for success but to deny responsibility for failure. It may also manifest(表現) itself as a tendency for people to evaluate ambiguous(模糊) information in a way that is beneficial to their interests. Self-serving bias may be associated with the better-than-average effect, in which the individual is biased to believe that he or she typically performs better than the average person in areas important to their self-esteem(自尊). This effect, also called "illusory(虛幻的) superiority" has been found when people rate their own driving skill, social sensitivity, leadership ability and many other attributes PTstudygroup 發表在 痞客邦 留言(0) 人氣(40)

Hey all,
Since no guys are joining us this coming Sunday, I think it’s a good timing to talk about them behind their back. This week is going to talk about how to get a man. I really need your advice on that. This article is pretty cliché, so you can share your experience and more realistic and effective ways to get a date.
Oh, and if you are not keen on this issue, let me know if you are more interested in science stories I wrote in school.

Sometime in the next few weeks, Facebook will officially log its 500 millionth active citizen. If the website were granted terra firma, it would be the world's third largest country by population, two-thirds bigger than the U.S. More than 1 in 4 people who browse the Internet not only have a Facebook account but have returned to the site within the past 30 days.
Just six years after Harvard undergraduate Mark Zuckerberg helped found Facebook in his dorm room as a way for Ivy League students to keep tabs on one another, the company has joined the ranks of the Web's great superpowers. Microsoft made computers easy for everyone to use. Google helps us search out data. YouTube keeps us entertained. But Facebook has a huge advantage over those other sites: the emotional investment of its users. Facebook makes us smile, shudder, squeeze into photographs so we can see ourselves online later, fret when no one responds to our witty remarks, snicker over who got fat after high school, pause during weddings to update our relationship status to Married or codify a breakup by setting our status back to Single. (I'm glad we can still be friends, Elise.)
Getting to the point where so many of us are comfortable living so much of our life on Facebook represents a tremendous cultural shift, particularly since 28% of the site's users are older than 34, Facebook's fastest-growing demographic. Facebook has changed our social DNA, making us more accustomed to openness. But the site is premised on a contradiction: Facebook is rich in intimate opportunities — you can celebrate your niece's first steps there and mourn the death of a close friend — but the company is making money because you are, on some level, broadcasting those moments online. The feelings you experience on Facebook are heartfelt; the data you're providing feeds a bottom line.
