Almost all of them chose Intro to Human Evolution (my Lucy Show post pulled me out of the Basketweaving closet) because they needed a life science to graduate and thought that anthropology sounded easier than biology. Almost none of them can read at Eskarinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14854383335265386899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2883226237165701608.post-91915065927292165242011-06-22T23:40:32.852-04:002011-06-22T23:40:32.852-04:00Maybe I'm just a tough grader, but AM's A ...Maybe I'm just a tough grader, but AM's A students would mostly get Bs from me.

I also love that my ESL students get an A because they attend every freaking class, say nothing all year, can't write, but they do EVERYTHING on time and follow instructions to the p-q-r-s-T!

You send me incessant e-mails about the assignment, which you don't seem to quite grasp. You come to office hours with a draft you demand I read. You grub every little point you can from quizzes and exams. But still, your work is stilted, unimaginative, Frog and Toadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06377542172335502858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2883226237165701608.post-26751164673172259612011-06-22T18:38:27.500-04:002011-06-22T18:38:27.500-04:00I'm offended.
