urbandruidStill alive, albeit just about flattened by the paper I had to finish up last night.
Things I've learned in English (Critical Reading and Writing) so far:
1. The paper format guidelines are in the syllabus for a reason. We are expected to use them.
2. Seventeen out of thirty students will do the first big paper.
3. Five of them will manage to get their margins and fonts write.
4. When given an extra WEEK to turn in said assignment, 8 people will still not do it.
5. My teacher ought to be a candidate for sainthood.
6. There are a couple of people who can always be counted on to spout off some totally bogus fact, then freak out when half the class doesn't believe them. Including the teacher.
7. 'Discussions' and 'debates' will almost always end with ten different people talking over each other, and maybe some shouting.
8. My side of the room almost never gets to talk unless the teacher shuts up the folks mentioned in #7.
more later...
