I mean I guess but I kinda wish I got more like that. An essay with decent points is much easier to grade than a middling or bad one.

And then there's the kid that copy/pasted a Wikipedia article :sigh:

Give her the grade you were going to give her, but let her know internet Marxists liked her conclusion. Then get fired for whatever rule it is you are probably breaking by sharing this with us.

the central irony of politoons is that for all they rail about labels, they need labels to make sense of the stupid garbage they look at.

Probably more like
Essay has clear thesis that is well supported
Essay has clear thesis that is not well supported
Essay has a vague or unclear thesis
Essay does not have an identifiable thesis
Essay is garbage, F.

Hey I'm not hating, I've done that job, and the guidelines I posted are pretty much what we had to use though obviously simplified by my dumb brain. Also I trust that you'll give it the grade it deserves.

detailed rubrics can save time so you can just go through them and not have to muddle about deciding whether it should be a B+, while this other essay was better but had 2 more grammar mistakes so does it deserve a B+ or a B etc...

Undergrads can sometimes need a lot of stuff spelled out and outlined though.

And if it is a larger class then fuggitabout it.

I'm gonna show SA-kun my shitposting!
Any Pastafarian or pirate lawyers able to help with DMV?

So... I'm trying to get a driver's license photo wearing a colander. I've received a reply from the Idaho Transportation Department's Driver's Service Manager that the department would initiate a phone hearing, after I was denied by the DMV. Their denial didn't make much sense at the time, since it was just a printed out copy of an article from New Zealand about someone who had won the right to wear religious headgear. I wasn't informed of a way to appeal, and it took awhile to find the manager. I had taken in a copy of my letter of good standing from the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, assuming it would be enough. I ccd the manager in an email to Bobby Henderson asking for an email asking for a letter to explain my need to wear religious headwear, and he replied this morning to provide a number for them to initiate a phone hearing. I have checked around and have been unable to find a list of state sanctioned churches, oddly enough. What should I expect from the phone hearing and what do I need to have prepared? Thank you for reading.
