One message of the medium that is the halfbakery is that most ideas are cliche; and even when they are original someone else will independantly think of them whether one decides to publish them or not.
That prelude vaguely alludes to the idea which follows: a website where students post term papers
that they have not researched. Then other users, who through malicious criticism of the posters' unoriginality, provide assistance through posting citations to already published works.
The students will then add those citations to their bibliography making it seem as if their papers have been heavily researched, but in fact were constructed of the students' random logical musings.

I dunno, maybe you can get away with this in some subjects, but if any of the students I mark submitted a pile of textual shite then the length of the citation list would make no difference to the mark awarded. |

As it is the number of people that think we can't recognise the difference between theirs and others' coding and writing styles is disappointingly large. |

finding the documents is the easy part. Doing the analysis/synthesis of the information is the hard part. |

A forum like Slashdot can be very useful for outsourcing research and analysis. However, having a question interesting/topical enough to be selected to be posted is difficult. |
