Females are the only species who reproduce.
I want that on a teeshirt. I can't even tell you why except that it's amazing. A lot like the question I once read asking "is garlic in the meat group?" |

Re: College - advice from the other side....
Giving feedback to that one sentence was painful.

Re: College - advice from the other side....
All issues I pointed out - that that ability to reproduce is one of the defining characteristics of life and that males reproduce, but do not carry and birth the young. Thank goodness I'm a homeschool mom and have taught biology three times over.

Re: College - advice from the other side....
I can’t even imagine where I’d start and I had other people proofing and editing my kids work LOL.
I can’t fathom having to give feedback on that (((((hug))))) I laughed again when I opened this thread. then I felt guilty for laughing at the expense of someone. It’s actually also sad. And a perfect example of why you started this thread. All in one sentence

Re: College - advice from the other side....
There are other gems, like "this is true of all the following reasons I stated before" Seems I'm GTAing a class where logic goes to die.
On the up side, those that went down the list and just answered the questions get full credit within minutes and long distance blessings.

Re: College - advice from the other side....
Oh gracious ((((hug)))) this must be so hard for you.
when I’ve proofed peoples papers from work my eyes twitch and I’d refuse to do anything beyond “punctuation and grammar in regards to spelling and verb tense etc) and then circle spots that were really .... obviously not good and put “rewrite” and tell them I’m not one to be able to fix that for them. I usually suggest an English major or TA to help them. My adult Kid whose in college now had a friend w an English major Proof all college papers and only charge like 15/paper. Coworkers come to me cuz apparently my professional emails are concise to the point and thorough and I have an extremely broad vocabulary LOL (which is opposite of my brain and my gcm rambles) and these are very very bright RNs with associates finishing their bachelors or bachelors and pursuing their masters. Ironically I have no post secondary degree even an associates lololol

Re: College - advice from the other side....
The trouble with correcting those sorts of things is that it isn’t only a writing problem or a grammar problem. There is a problem with clarity of thinking, even misunderstanding of basic terminology. I doubt they could explain their arguments coherently out loud, either. It begs the question of how they got through all those classes before senior year.
---------- Post added at 01:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:03 PM ---------- I think that homeschooling can help prevent these problems just because of the one-on-one nature of instruction. The children probably have to speak in complete sentences more often than they would in a classroom. And this sort of thing Quote:

Re: College - advice from the other side....
I fully agree . I think my dysgraphia kid did so well cuz his logic was developed orally . I taught him to
Record himself doing a “speech on the topic without looking at it bad transpose it. But that’s why I didn’t do more than “rewrite” cuz I taught that organically and don’t know where to start when editing LOL I’m not an editor

Another irony is that the last two poorly written papers were guys - this is a women's health course - so they are out of their natural element from the start.

Re: College - advice from the other side....
I required peers complete rubrics before I even looked at papers.

Re: College - advice from the other side....
I’ve taught essay writing at our homeschool co-op for more years than I care to count, and I taught it at a public high school before that. It is SO necessary and so often over-looked. There’s also an issue of time for the public school teacher. If they have 125 students each day, to give feedback and personal instruction just isn’t feasible.

My college composition professor required peer-reviewed papers, and I thought he was brilliant. It drastically reduced his load. By the time he saw it, it was C worthy. Several of my classmates were football players who were quite happy with a C. Their first drafts were F material.
