Off My Chest
RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

Research and in class seem to be at odds
When I was at university in the late '90s, back when EbscoHost was just gaining a foothold, my biology professor required us to turn in physical copies of every article we cited along with our term papers. I spent hours copying journal articles in the periodicals section of the library that semester.
Professors absolutely could say, "Bring copies of the articles you want to cite to class so you can write your research paper by hand."
But the research still happened outside, right? Not sure if you imply you had to actually write in the class, but gathering the relevant papers/info is the bulk of the research, and they was done somewhere else.
