In my class I presented an article about Dr. McCabe's visit to SIUC in February. My international students confirmed for me several assumptions. In our countries, they said, scholarship is defined as copying. Remembering and copying the experts. It's slightly more than that, of course. You must figure out your teacher's opinion, then find the right scholar to copy; then, remember and copy the right passage. Then, you've made it.
