School Ranting

I’m curious… How hard is it to remember to save assignments as RTFs? I mean are you people too stupid to follow the directions for doing so, or just THAT forgetful? Yeesh.

Letter from the professor:

Ladies and Gentlemen,
Just a reminder that we have about a month to go in the course and assignment submissions are not universally what they should be.  Please be mindful of participation in the FORUM and deadlines for submissions.  Emergencies occur; I understand that, but you need to let me know if you need an extension.  Please check your assignments as well to be sure that they haven’t been returned to you–meaning you need to do something to the assignment and return it to me.  As often as not that something that needed doing was to save the file as RICH TEXT FORMAT so that I can open your work.
The essays you read and the questions you answer are designed to get you to read closely examples of excellent writing and to analyze what makes that writing work.  The published essays serve as models for you to follow.
