Listen now to the bitter raging of a man unable to truly express contempt when it is deserved

| I find that too often, teachers are too lenient in the comments made on crappy papers and midterms. Most will likely stick to "this needs work" or "don't do this..." instead, we should be mean. | |

| For instance, many papers had a vague thesis statement and a really good description of what they had done at the END of the paper. For this I would write: | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| "thank god i found your thesis. The first was so vague that i was stumbling around in the dark throughout the body of your paper hoping for a sense of your intentions and THERE it is at the END" | |
 | |  |
|
|

|
|
 | |  |
| For other, crappier papers, I would bring out the big guns. Such as: | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| "You write like a Faulknerian man-child". However, I'm hesitant to use this because they might think I am actually comparing them to Faulkner. *sigh* | |
