How
do I save papers at this site onto my computer?
This
is a very popular question and will be explained in good detail. There
are actually several ways you can save essays from this site, but here
are the 3 most commonly used methods.
Copy
and Paste - This is the best method because it gives you the most control.
Simply drag your mouse over the text in the essay that you would like to
copy. Once all of it is highlighted, go to the Edit menu of your browser
and select Copy. Then, go to any text viewer (i.e. Notepad) and go to Edit...Paste.
(you can use CTRL+C to copy and CTRL+V to paste, in most places).
Save
the File - This method might come in useful if you're in a hurry. Browse
to the location of the paper you would like to save. Then go to File...Save
As... and save the file wherever you wish on your computer. However, since
the file you're saving is in HTML format, you will have to take out a few
tags yourself.
Print
the Paper - If you don't want to save the paper on your computer or
are in a place where you can't, printing out the paper is your only option.
Simply browse to the location of the paper and choose File...Print... (Doing
this in school is not recommended).
How
do I find the papers I need at this site?
There
are two methods of doing this and both have their own advantages in various
situations.
Use
the Search - Cyber Essays uses an extremely fast and powerful search
engine that indexes the unique words of each essays. When someone runs
a search, the documents whose indexed unique words match those in the query
are returned and the user has a list of matching papers at this site. The
search is best to use when looking for a specific paper such as a report
on a book.
Use
Categories - The essays at this site are categorized by subjects and
then sub-categorized further until there is a group of related papers that
is easy to look through. This method would be preferred if you were, say,
looking for a report on William Shakespeare and needed different papers
about him. In this example, you would browse to English and then to Shakespeare.
How
do I submit my own papers to this site?
Cyber
Essays is always trying to meet more of our visitors' needs, but we need
your support to do this. If you have any high-quality papers you've written
in the past, please go to our Submit page and
fill out the simple form by entering the required title and subject fields
and then pasting the paper in the large space. Your security is our top
priority so all paper submissions stay absolutely anonymous unless you
choose to enter your real name or email. These fields are not required
but we like to have some name and email to put with each submitted paper.
Why
do the essays look bad with Microsoft Internet Explorer?
Our
users have reported a few minor problems viewing our site with either Microsoft
Internet Explorer or the AOL browser which is powered by MSIE. Here are
some common problems and solutions.
Tiny
Essay Text - Insted of loading our essays with tons of HTML code that
some can't understand, we use the PRE tag so that our users can save the
essays and still use them just like a text file. Unfortunately, some users
browsing with MSIE/AOL have reported that the essays text turns out to
be of a very small size. This is just a bug in the browser and you should
either restart the browser and try it again or view the page with Netscape.
Cyber
Essays is optimized for Netscape 3.0+ so whenever viewing our site, try
to use Netscape.
Why
doesn't the Chat Room load?
The
Chat Room not loading is usually a sign of one of two common problems.
Java
Unsupported - If you go to the chat page and see the phrase "Your
browser is not Java enabled," this means that either your browser
does not support Java or that option is simply turned off. If you are on
Netscape or Microsoft Internet Explorer versions 3.0 or higher, chances
are your browser supports Java but that option is currently turned off.
You can switch it on by going to either Network Preferences (Netscape)
or Security Preferences (MSIE) and checking the "Enable Java"
box. On the other hand, if you don't have a recent browser we suggest downloading
the latest version of either Netscape
or MSIE, both of which support
Java.
Chat
Server Down - If the Chat Room itself loads (meaning your browser is
Java enabled) but it simply can't connect to the chat server, that means
that the ParaChat server is down and you'll have to try to connect later.
Thus far, ParaChat has proven fairly reliable so there shouldn't be a constant
problem.
Can
I get some information about Cyber Essays?
Cyber
Essays is a completely free service that provides students with papers
on a specified topic. Although we support education and feel it is a priceless
commodity, we also feel it cannot be attained by teachers giving the same
assignments year after year that only force the student to lose sleep -
not to make him or her think. Cyber Essays is here to challenge the lazy
teacher into helping her students and give assignments from which the students
can learn. Mark Twain once said, "Never let schooling get in the way
of your education." This is even more true today.
Work
on this site began January 1st, 1998, and Cyber Essays was made public
a few months later.
