Aug. 18th, 2008 04:29 pmAt present, I am editing students work as part of compiling it into a wiki on local queer history.
HOW THE HELL DID THESE ART STUDENTS GET TO THIRD-YEAR-PLUS UNIVERSITY WITHOUT KNOWING HOW TO WRITE?
HOW?
WHAT ARE WE TEACHING THEM?
I find myself stopping every few sentences to try and figure out what the hell the authour is saying. Or trying to say, and failing.
As I edit, the page count is steadily dropping. Superfluous clauses and sentences fly off into the ether, never to return.
