I really have to post some lines from my students' essays one of these days. Unfortunately, my best class for this sort of thing is also a class on a fairly specific subject, so I worry a little about exposing my identity.
It's not only fairly specific subject matter, but it's specific to my actual location. Only about a dozen other colleges teach this particular class, so it's possible that posting specific quotes on certain aspects of the topic would be far more revealing than, say, someone posting a quote from a paper on Shakespeare or the US Civil War.
I hear people at conferences make similar claims, and it's always wrong. There are more than 7000 colleges in the US alone. You're at one of 12 that do the special thing?
I'd bet half of my ham sandwich that you're vastly over-estimating the uniqueness of your situation. But to be fair, nearly everyone does that. You are not alone.
HA HAHAHAHA !!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!
Excellent!

Oh, absolutely. Don't let the fact that there are 1.5 million college professors convince you otherwise.

I'll take that sandwich with mustard.
DeleteThanks.
Even if we grant "party" for "panty" -- "some experience"?
ReplyDeleteWayworn, I don't want to grant "party" for "panty" if there's "some experience" involved.
DeleteAnd all I got was my driver's license. Clearly, I missed out.
ReplyDeleteI once got "methadone is a pain stimulator" as a response on an exam.
ReplyDeleteTea panty!
