A hard science Master’s Thesis would not have looked this way.

I can’t imagine getting permission from the president of the BSA to do ANYTHING! I would have gone to the Dean and asked for another advisor.

For this and a variety of reasons it should be apparent to all that mooch-elle is a movin-on-up, affirmative-action, equal-opportunity grifter. Worst lady, I’d say.

I started college at UC Berkeley, which was rigorous in my day. I got married before graduation (common in my day) and left my degree unfinished until after my 4th child got out of college.

When I returned to college to finish that “business” degree, I attended a small, private, Catholic college that specialized in educating working adults. Our classes were small, at night, and they emphasized co-opertive learning. IOW, they divided us into groups (as might be done in the work place) and we produced papers, presentations, vidoes, etc. in a group atmophere. And then we received a GROUP grade.

I wasn’t having that, so I often volunteered to do more than the others just so that I knew it was done right. I always typed the group papers. One thing that I was a fanatic over was the use of APA as the system for end notes and references. I knew that system backwards and forwards — better than most of the profs, since the college had just adopted it as their “style” the month that I entered. I used to haunt the library and Sr ___ to make sure that I was doing it right with every punctuation mark in exactly the right place.

I was placed in one group with the neice of the former Supt. of Schools of Milwaukee (one of Holder’s people). She was very nice, but she didn’t work too hard on her papers. She turned her section in to me in long hand for assemblage into the final product because she couldn’t type. As I started transcribing it I noted that it was good, but it sounded awfully familiar. I checked back to our text, and she had copied the entire first chapter word for word. Her name was Michelle, too, and I called her and asked how she waould like to revise the material.

“Oh, that’s a block quote” she answered.

“Shelly, you cannot blockquote the entire first chahpter of our text book and not add any material of your own,” I told her.

Well she did not have time to re-write, so I re-wrote it for her and we turned it in. I don’t think she ever read it, but we got an A.

A hard science paper wouldn’t have stated that 400 names were gathered by picking every fourth name on a list of 1200.
