Giving out reports

Personally, i dont have a habit of passing friends my reports. remember that I only gave the outline of the MATLAB code to ZL when he ask for my code during undergraduates. I have heard too much talks abt pple just copy n pass everything. WJ actually just changed the name of the old report to his own name and submit it.

Now in SMA, mindset change alot, due to own limitations and the big enviroment. I even set up a yahoo group for the class to upload their report for everybody to learn from each other, before or after dateline is your own decision. That never take off.

Later i realise that reports are circulating among small circles. ok with me since everybody has his/her own right to pass the report to who he/she feel comfortable with. i also give out my report, if pple ask from me, which i dont know why, not much pple ask. My view is actually very simple, i give it to u, it is up to u to do what u want w it. It is very hard to control w soft copy.

last week, the class received a email from the TA, "Most of you have done well on the PS3. However, we want to remind some of you is that don’t try to violate the collaboration policy. Discussion is allowed but you have to do your own report." It seems that the TA at MIT found twins in the class report.

Spent some time thinking about this, decide to change my report giving style. will only give to those whom i think will read and not copy wholesale. But, i am always n still open to giving report to pple, dont need to treat me as high up in the moral ground and unapproachable. The only thing that may put pple off is that I dont like to send report that are half completed. It is not my style to lead pple down the wrong path. So, normally i will ask pple to wait if they want my report.

Good things are worth waiting for. :-)
