...and spelling? Im in a few classes this semister and I really want to know, if its not an english class, why do the teachers take off points for grammer and spelling?
Its not logical, its like me grading their teaching skills on weather or not they kick kittens.
If someone can explain why my grasp of writing the english language would even be considered in a non-english topic class i would appreciate it.
the only history class that should care how well you write should be history of the english language (not a real class that i know of). I can write well enough to get my point across and convey the knowledge of the topic i study. Im just talking about a paper that has notes in it like (-2 pts for a run on sentence) and (-2 points for using a non approved reference citation).
Do you think someone in the school would listen if I complained about it?
Im indepentantly wealthy, I will never have a boss or someone grading me on how I spell except for these jerks in the college classes Im taking for fun.
I think I just realized that Im going to shift my degree over to art... LOL. Avoid all written topics totally, or just audit them, since I dont need a diploma.
Ill just avoid the art history classes....
"The polar bear (Ursus maritimus) is a bear that has white fur and lives in the artic ocean and its surrounding areas." is how I would write that sentence.
My teachers would give me a -2 for not capitolizing Artic Ocean the way I wrote it above. See how it doesnt effect the read of the sentence, it gets my point across, and is just over the top Natzi Grammer police bs...
