Know-How Exchange : Student Questions

Dear harrietkabasomi,

Hmm? It's like this: no. Let's not discuss.

Let's see you doing your own homework. Let's see you coming up with some original thoughts, turning off your CAPS LOCK KEY, and coming up with a contribution or two of your own.

Besides (and sadly for you), the premise of your argument is flawed. Can you think why that might be? (Hint: the answer to that question is in your question).

Now naturally, I understand that this answer might just piss you off. But to be honest, I don't care.

You see, I answer questions on this forum to help people get their marketing act together ... if I can, and in this case, to help student marketers avoid getting egg on their faces when their tutors read the answers that those same students have posted here in the hope of avoiding doing their homework.

I'm not always right. In fact, I'm frequently wrong. But more often than not, 85 percent of my answers get accepted. That doesn't make me clever, it just makes me wise.

And if you're wise (you are wise, aren't you?), you'll put in some of your own effort because in a second or two, it'll dawn on your that your tutors also read this forum. Ah! That tinkling sound? That was the sound of the penny dropping, wasn't it?

Now then, I don't answer questions on this forum for love, or for points for that matter. And I sure as hell don't answer them for money, although that would be nice (Admin, please take note. How about $50 per accepted answer for contributors with over 75,000 points? Any chance? Nah, I didn't think so, but if you don't ask ...).

Anyway, sorry harrietkabasomi. Let's get back to your question.

You see, if you're going to make it in marketing, the sooner you learn one vital lesson the better, and that lesson is this: them as works, eats.

I'm telling you this for you own good, and to give you the heads up before Phil or Randall come along and rewrite your question so that it reads something like this: "We students are busy copying and pasting answers, we have no time for homework activities."

Discuss? See above.

Now then, how about answering that question?
