my at2 is an essay w the question provided, i found a studocu essay that is EXACTLY what the question is and is also EXACTLY what i was planning on writing, should i memorise it or write my own? im aware of the risks that some ppl in my class wouldve stumbled across this essay (its public on studocu) and hence i was planning on adjusting it so that it is mine, i understand the ethical complications that come with this and im also aware of the risks of "my own work" (or whatever its called), my exam is in 2 weeks and i want to start early, thank you!!

i doubt the markers are gonna spend the time to cross check.
As long as you know what ur writing about and the ethical stuff involved, i think it should be okay.

however if you do have the time to work on your own, i'd suggest that... and you can use the one you found as inspo

If someone else does the same thing you in trouble!

What's the question? can brainstorm ideas...

Also can use the essay as a guide/inspiration to develop your own and improve upon it, just don't plagiarise :)

Hi i just wanted to come back and say that instead of coping or memorising a public essay i instead found a public "essay planning" for the same essay and then used it to write my essay, i did not use all of the dot points given but instead adapted the planning to my planning and wrote my own essay!
