ITT: The reason I love grading papers.

OP sometimes I'll take off marks for the use of different words. I don't like reading 'concomitant' or 'indicative'. Every time I see it in a philosophy paper. Instant fucking -10.

at least you people get to exercise some subjectivity. I've taught Latin where students regularly translate something like 'the poet gives a rose to the girl' as 'girl had rose and poet is date' and expect at least a C percentage based on some intricate combination of vocab points, intended syntax, etc.. rage rage everywhere

>Not an everyday word

Pick one

Fuck you OP. You're the reason why I hated writing and loved syllabuses.
