It wouldn't have been given a C, and I say this as someone who was a TF/TA for these kinds of classes at UCSD tier programs, and as such spent hours grading these kinds of essays.
I think there are flaws with the article's argument, but your retort is not touching on those.
- waffletower 1y agoI certainly didn't have you as a TA. Grammar was way over-emphasized -- often at the expense of content -- in my time. You are also invited to read between the lines and consider the meaning of the sentence I chose to highlight (though difficult to parse). Then perhaps you can reassess whether I addressed the content of the article beyond grammarian finger pointing.
- illiac786 1y agoRead between the lines, really? Why would you hide your message between the lines, what’s the point? Just to make sure people misunderstand you? And yes, my grammar suck - to get back on (your) topic.
