Writings and other material by Ben Gadd
On this page I have posted some short items that are often requested. Feel free to copy what you wish, but only for your own, non-commercial use.
Please remember that if you are borrowing something from any of my writings -- a sentence or a paragraph for a school assignment, say -- you must give me proper credit as the author. If you're not sure what I mean by "proper credit," please read my student handout on the subject: Guide to References. It explains how to avoid plagiarism.
