If anyone thinks that’s real, he’s a damned fool.
Even more so, because I see very little of the content was posted.
Yeah, exactly what does a student have to do to get an “F”?
I’ll tell you what... most people could study for weeks and not get a “D” on most STEM courses. But hand in this and you still sorta pass? (A “C” will balance you out into clearly passing territory.)
Come on... if you’re going to write about Tom and Jerry, at least get your facts straight! They were from MGM, not Warner Brothers’ Looney Tunes (sic).
She didn’t publish the student’s name, did she?
I also did not know that.
The student knows the name of Pepe's love interest, but does not realize why a cartoon cat might chase a cartoon mouse? What do "house cats" do with mice? The writer is educated enough to identify the cartoon cat as fulfilling it's "class role" but does not realize that his essay is supposed to be about the dissolute rich of the 1920s?
No way this is real.
English teacher?
Is not “The book we are reading.” A dependent phrase, separated by a comma from previous sentence?
‘Edith Hamilton’s “Mythology”’
What are cartoons but the mythology of the modern day?
That is neither an exaggeration nor a misconception.
Students solved similar equations or diagrammed Similar sentences or expounded on the same written passages in turn, going up and down rows of desk.
If anyone was weak in an area, everybody knew. Students were sometimes assigned to help tutor another student who was lagging.
Students still failed to learn the material, but not in numbers anywhere close to what we see today. If they failed they repeated the grade and none of them failed in secret.
You seem to be asserting that secrecy benefits the student.
I see no evidence of any kind which supports that assertion.
If they feel humiliated that's something that they need to learn to overcome in life so as you try to come up with a reason why secrecy might help students scratch that one off before you even start.
maybe she asked permission.
She was definitely too generous with the grade.
This reminds me of the time I was correcting a biochemistry exam and the answer one student gave had nothing go do with the question. The question required students to describe a mechanism of virus replication. One student wrote something about the importance of treating pregnant HIV positive women so their babies don’t get AIDS.
I had a dream about the Natalie Wood movie, “Penelope,” the other night. Weird.
Bkmrk.
This reads almost like the student paid somebody to write the paper for them, got the wrong one back, and submitted it sight unseen.
Ridiculous!
I’m just surprised Tom and Jerry and Looney Tunes are still being shown anywhere in the world.
My kids are in their late teens and twenties and they have never heard of Elmer Fudd or Wiley E. Coyote.
Sponge Bob or Powder Puff girls are what that generation knows.
Wait ... this is a college class?!
BINGO! Every day I’m shocked at what young people don’t know that I did at that age and scads more.
“The essay, which has been awarded a D,...”
Since when is a grade of “D” considered an award?
ef’im...
i’m with you
