Oklahoma college student's failing grade on gender essay dropped amid outcry

11. Please point me to where the zero was based on this

Originally, you were angry with the reporter for carelessly using the word "cited." (At least that was my understanding of your complaint.)

Now you are saying that the real problem is that any good college student should cite chapter and verse.

Can you point me to any source for your assertion that "One of the major reasons this student got that poor grade was that the student didn't cite any sources."

I've looked at quite a few articles on this and I can't find a single one where the grader said that he gave her the zero because she didn't cite any sources. There was, near as I can tell, no requirement in the assignment to cite sources. The reasons for the zero have been widely reported.

I actually believe we're on the same side here. I'm just thinking that your ire may be somewhat misdirected.
