well... I know I'm an exeptional writer (quoting previous profs. here not being conceited), my writing's fine.. she thinks my sentences are too long... but, that's my style!! Look at Kerouac, Bangs.. and my writing is not as bad as theirs, I don't mean bad, but.. my sentences are better I mean. But she just gave shitty grades to everyone, EXEPT those who told her they went to the writing center.. and I peer reviewed a paper that this girl wrote, pretty bad imo, with lots of grammar mistakes and repetitions and just.. like a B-, C paper, and she got an A- because she kissed the prof's ass and kept mentioning going to the writing center. I don't know. I don't care that much, but.. I just cann't stand her attitude and teaching methods, yeah
Doesn't sound like that to me. If the only reason she gave for giving Penny the B- instead of an A was that she didn't go to the writing center than she's grading her students actions instead of their work, which is rediculous and isn't teaching them anything (except how to humour control freaks). And this; " she stands behind you while you type on you computer and all of a sudden she screams "BINGO!" or "I need examples, more examples!!! quote from the book, people, quotes!!" and never shuts up ans she has this really high pitched voice and goes "okaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy" every time she gets in class... " sounds like the spastic habits of a disturbed mind. __________________
What type of work are you planning on doing after school is over and done? Most have a lot more pressure then what she's doing. Life is filled with dead lines and it sounds like you were not prepared. Also-wishing another person DEAD over it is pretty severe-don't you think?
My American Lit. I teacher docks my daily grade anytime I'm late to class. All of the clocks in the school have different times. She is so anal that she writes the time down beside people's names as they come in - late or not. I was 1 minute late to class one day and she bitched at me in front of everyone. My only reply was, "And I pay to go here so get over it." I got a 0 for that daily grade.
Darling Penny - Jack Kerouac was a hack and died an early alcoholic hack death. If you want 2 read a real Beat, read Bukowski - u really don’t want 2 live & write like Kerouac --- and u may b mixed up about the purpose of college -- college is NOT a place 2 learn and express new ideas - you should have only 1 goal at school, and that is to get A’s - a 4.0 should be your objective - if u really want 2 learn stuff, hit the rails or hit the road; otherwise, just repeat ur professors’ ideas in your papers and write nice succinct sentences for the stupid tenured fucks -- then those transcripts will only show 4s.
