holytoastrI think professor Fuqua is a great professor. I ahve decided that.
Perhaps I'm biased right now because she has let out out early for I think the last 3 or 4 classes in a row. Today all ew had to do was hand in our midterm, and get back our analysis essays.
I think this is the first time I've gotten an essay back with some CONSTRUCTIVE criticism. I hate when profs simply but a grade on the paper and say something useless like, "Needs more work" or "Not in depth enough." I mean, how is that going to help me improve for the next time?
Fuqua wrote all over my essay. I mean ALL OVER. And every comment made directly steered me toward what was wrong. She also pointed out where in my essay she thought something was missing. Looking back on my essay now I can see what she meant.
Considering I was still sick when I wrote the paper, and that I waited until the last minute, I deserved the grade I got. If I had written it with a healthy mind and body the paper could have easily been a B+ or A-.
It kinda annoys me about myself how I have absolutely no respect for my natural talents. (Not in the sailor moon sense! :P ) Writing papers really comes easy to me, but I don't do any research, I don't proofread, and I don't revise. I could be getting A papers all the time if I just cared about them more.
After this wave of essays clears, I'm going to try to work on my essays sooner than the night before. I'm going to proofread them. I'm going to do research. And most importantly, I'm going to revise them so taht I don't ahve missing connections. I will go into depth. I will be accademic.
I can do that, right?
