Nobody is asking professors to provide anything. The ask is that they don't go out of their way to pile on extra cruel punishments on already-stressed students for typos. That's beyond the ability of a professor? What the heck are all the other ones doing then?
- WalterBright 2y agoThere's nothing cruel about notifying students at the very first class of the term that they'll need to spell "business" correctly. Those that cannot handle it have plenty of time to drop the class. If the requirements of college are too stressful, 1. drop out and try something simpler 2. put in a lot more time studying I had a lot of stress in college, to the point of abdominal pain, and picked option 2. It never occurred to me to demand easier coursework.
