    Default Homework Help!

    Hey guys I need some help with this assignment. They said I had to do it on Tomas Edison on the light bulb and it asks you on why it was made and how it works, if anybody has some time can you give me some useful links?

    Thomas Alva Edison eh? Go to your school or local library links are not to be trusted, like people on the internet

    Here's a useful link:

    www.google.com.au

    also, it's Thomas Edison - that might get you better results.
    If you have any further problems, ask your teacher!

    I tell my students that if they ever use wikipedia as a source, to also back it up with two other independent sources. (-_-)

    But yeah, I would also very strongly recommend avoiding wikipedia.
    Try a library.

    Certain courses at UWS allow you to use Wikipedia as a secondary resource, it's a bad precedent.

    A decent local council library should have plenty of information on Edison, he is among the least obscure inventors.

    google is your friend, benben... so are wikis... and if you don't know how to use them, there's always your trusty local libraries

    In other words, don't ask other people to do your homework for you. Part of the process of the assignment is seeing if you can do it all yourself, including the research as well as the writing up and submission. Your grading may reflect the submitted piece, but the entire process is your assignment, not just the final submission.
    If you don't learn how to do a project yourself, you will have greater problems later in life when you really do need to tackle something on your own.
