if you assign a paper that requires students just go find out stuff about a topic, then averett is totally right--it is a stupid way to do things--i dont know many people who still give that kind of assignment at the university level for all the reasons she mentioned. usually, the counter to the easy (and superficiality) of websearching as surrogate research is to make the papers more conceptually oriented--which is why i wondered what the assignment was.
i cant think of a topic more worthless than "the beatles, how about them?" in conception and execution.
