    1 quotation, five citations. where does the fucking quote come from? padding your ‘bibliography’ does not help your case, it makes it look like you don’t understand how to attribute a quotation, i do not know which or have any reason to believe all these sources support the quote

      Reminds me of when I would pad bibliographies in high school, I’d just copy paste a bunch of sources like this completely unrelated to the essay to make it look like I did more research than I did.

        Wait, did teachers not actually check whether your source material checks out or not?

        I mean it makes sense from a work stance where you could be dealing with 20+ individual essays with at minimum average of 5 or so sources, the average person may say fuck that lmao
