Professors of DU! I feel your pain!
OMG, I'm tutoring/TA-ing a class this semester and I just read through their 1st assignment, which was an ungraded one paragraph piece on the disagreement between 2 historians...

All I can say is :rofl:

This is college....Awful grammar, punctuation, spelling, and sentence structure. It's like reading Engrish. :o

So, I feel your pain now... :pals:

:P

7. bwaha....yes, it's kind of horrifying, isn't it?
Part of me misses teaching SO much, and the other part of me just shudders thinking about some of the papers I've had to slog through. :7

8. Indeed it is!
I mean, I know I've been in school longer than most of them (probably all of them, actually), and I've written more papers than I care to remember, but damn! At least know where to put the commas and the periods! :o
