      • Did anyone else catch that "Sophistry" is bolded -- rather appropriately -- in Aggie's thesis?

        It looks like crap. There's no way you could get away with that kind of stuff in a real field.

        What the hell kind of footnote is "Here I agree with Bob".

        Terrible excuse for academic masturbation. Time to cull some jobs and funnel the money elsewhere.

            It's better then the footnotes in the first example... it's like half the page!! Is he writing the whole paper in small fonts?! It's a 450 page thesis, but with out footnotes it's like 5 pages
            Monkey!!!

            • It really does sicken me to know that my tax dollars go to waste funding that kind of ****. It's a waste of virtual ink.

                  Hey, I've seen worse in Academic papers. I've seen history papers in which only one line on a page was part of the paper, and the rest of the page was a footnote.

                  Personally, I hate footnotes and would prefer endnotes. If you have that many notes, that's the preferable solution. I'd rather have the choice to look up the references than see a page full of footnotes that I may or may not be interested in reading at the moment.

                    I agree

                    or, just plagerize.

                      It means: "I haven't originally invented the idea, and here are the credits" which is something important in the academia.

                      Besides it meand "While I can oppose Bob on other issues, in this particular case, I agree with his argumentation I linked to - just so that you can better understand how Bob's argument fits into mine".

                        • shouldn't you agree or disagree with an idea in the body of the papper, and footnote where the idea originated?

                          • Not if the idea is tangental to your main thesis.

                              Well, my advisor talked with me about my paper recently again, and he said that I need to limit direct inclusion of secondary source material and instead, use even more footnotes than I already have.

                              So yes, according to my advisor, footnoting the idea while expressing agreement or disagreement is the way to go. So that you can provide more of an original argument on why you agree/disagree, rather than rehash everything the other author discussed on a particular point.
