In reply to the discussion: Typical example of college writing I see [View all]Traildogbob
(13,027 posts)Years ago. I got sick of having to write more addressing this stupid with corrections than they write for the whole damn paper.
And spelling scientific names. Forget about it.
Had to tell em this is not a damn English class. I am teaching a damn second year college science class.
Writing a scientific review with the Scientific Research Method, and tell them no pronouns allowed. And then get a paper with 30-40 pronouns!
I can not tell you how many Red pens I burned through. And late in my career, state reps told us not to mark papers in red, its too harsh on their Fee Fees, too dramatic.
Math
..some took 3 years to get through Math 070.
While getting Pell Grant Payments.
I had to chase down students I had rarely seen in class in the line to Student Services to get the Pell Checks at the months beginning.
I am not at all surprised there are so many stupid people, plenty enough to put republicans in full control. They would repeat developmental classes, 070, 080, classes over and over until Pell finally said no more, then vanish and became MAGA Pros I guess.
