I think all school future prep is about 10-20 years behind. In high school every quote we cited had to be put on an index card because, "that's how they do it in collage."
Fucking no they don't.
holy shit i remember that index card nonsense. i've done one paper in one of the couple of college courses i've been taking (super late in life mind you) and that was not even remotely done. i dont think he really even gave a hoot as long as we tried to cite though...
I was an English major. My papers always said, "good point," or "very well written," and my works cited looked like a kid with a red pen had a seizure. No matter how hard I tried, how many times I tried, or wrote it out exactly how the book stated the teacher had a problem with it. What a ridiculous reason to be a C student.
I had an instructor for a 9 am physical fitness class who was a captain of a local fire department and one morning he goes, "I just got off a long shift.... who wants to get drunk?" We stayed and worked out but I thought it was absolutely hilarious.
Last semester I had an English prof who cursed a total of over 1000 times during all the lectures I had with him. Plus the course I had him for was Comics As Literature.
College is fucking great.
My friend and I kept track of how many times an instructor said "um." It was like 125 times in a 50 minute lecture. She'd go "um um so um and um um..."
Fucking no they don't.
College is fucking great.
