Students

Remember that many students study badgers as part of their college courses and degrees, and a lot of students will get asked the same question. You might think it would be very easy to copy large chunks from our web-site and claim it as your work. Just remember, that your tutor will not be very impressed if he sees the same words in your essay, as he read from a different student last year. Your tutor can find our web site just as easily as you can!

Our view is that as a student at college or university, you are intelligent enough to gather information from a variety of sources and write your own essay in your own words, using your own writing style. After all, this is what we did when we went to university. So, feel free to read as much or as little as you need, and then please write up your own essay, as this will pay you great dividends in the long term.

In terms of finding information, this web site should be a very good place to start. Look up and down the menu on the sides of these pages (and the header links towards the top of each page) to see if you can find a heading for the subject you are interested in. If the menu item has a sign, this means the menu will expand to show you more information in separate pages. Otherwise, please use our Search page to look for page which include the keywords you type in. Otherwise, have a look at our Site Map (this is an enormous page as it includes pretty much all the pages on this web site).

Also, check out our Education pages to look for specific topics of interest, such as research ideas and summaries of research papers. Your university library should be able to let you have sight of the complete research papers if you ask. Also have a look at our Factual Badger Books page. This includes some wonderful books - especially the book Badgers by Ernest Neal and Chris Cheeseman. If your university or college library does not have a copy of this book, then shame on then! Ask your librarian to get a copy post haste, and tell them that Badgerland recommend it as a superb book for students who want to study badgers.

If you want to work with badgers in the longer term, then buy your own copy, as it is a mine of information in itself; and has references to other works too.

If you were thinking of copying large chunks from our web site, please note that Badgerland is registered as an official source of information with several academic copyright/citation agencies.
