so bad they're painful.
i am grading the worst papers i've ever graded before. of course, they're from my lazy class, so i'm not entirely surprised. out of about 8 papers that i've graded so far, 1 of those 8 knew how to quote and cite quoted material. also, she is the only one who knew how to format and integrate quotes.
one of my students made up whole paragraphs from different quotes. and i don't know how, since they're from Beowulf, and not exactly in order. so the paragraph doesn't make any sense.
oh well. that's why i saved the other class for the end. maybe they're better (i suspect they are). oh the difference an hour makes.
i have to go to get my tires aligned now. i have to stop by the gasolinera before i go so that i will have a drink and a snack for the 1.5 hours it will take them to align all four wheels on my car. pray for me, no?
