They deserve extra credit for this
Jesus fuck, you censor the word “motherfucker” but leave the author’s name intact?
Well she’s the one that publicly posted it and her tag is her name.
Zoomers just don’t care about doxxing themselves.
does people associating their name on their twitter account count as doxxing?
in that case i have some huge news on who owns the @elonmusk account
I’m curious how 1984 is AP Lit. We read that years before AP classes were even available… Does that mean they get college credit for reading Orwell now?
There are university classes analyzing children’s picture books. It’s not about the difficulty of the book, it’s about the level of the analysis.
1984 is quite unique as a piece of fiction, since almost a third of the book is an appendix about language and history. It’s an excellent book to analyze.
Because I’ve seen this sort of thing happen several times in various contexts, I’ve long said that you should never write something you don’t want to send. Not even as a joke that you plan to immediately delete. It’s amazing how your brain will unexpectedly hit “send” instead of “delete.”
My takeaway is different. It’s bad that teachers force repression of honest, raw expression by punishing stuff like this.
That was funny. That was a well written intro in any context where bumsticks are optional.
These teachers and their consensus in style is like the old suburban “keeping up appearances” types of academia.
“No, my students aren’t struggling mentally, they’re just doing their work diligently.” There’s no excessive stress or dysfunction under the surface, everything is as it should be.
I’ve never had this experience. Almost all of my professors and most of teachers would have seen this, chuckled, accepted my apology, and then requested a better intro due the next day.
Most of my professors explicitly recognized that we would finish things last minute, cram the night before, be sleep deprived, or otherwise not be great with our schedule. And they did not discourage us with that information but rather tried to aid or alleviate it. I had professors say “I scheduled this exam to be due at 5:30pm on a Friday so that you can enjoy your weekend and not worry about completing this at midnight at a party.”
I think many teachers are much cooler than their students realize, they’re just people and while they have expectations, most teachers won’t spit in your face when you’re expressing yourself genuinely or trying in earnest.
Enh. Depends on the program. I have a diploma in TV production.
First step is knowing who’s marking it, their personality, and if they’re going to be bored reading 100 of these or if they actually love punishing students.
I threw a couple jokes in my final essay and got 100% :)
My work email account has a 2 minute delay before sending any email. I’m not taking chances
I have that feature turned on but sometimes I don’t know how to actually cancel it lol
For projects like this (longish and a product of several sessions) including levity for the sake of your own motivation is fine.
What isn’t fine is missing proofreading steps before sending.
I had an english professor that actually demanded an intro like this. He said write ANYTHING as long as you can hook the reader and link it to a thesis statement, and there is no bar to that link.
self hatred fueled writing extravaganza. sounds familiar
