people who are taking issue with how the instructor handled this student’s (imo unacceptable) submission are missing the point entirely. revise and resubmit? give a low nonzero grade? why think any of *those* responses wouldn’t have sent the libsoftiktok machine in motion too?
having assigned reaction papers in many of my classes i look at this student’s essay and cannot glean what the content of the original assigned reading was, nor do i see how a reference to the Genesis creation story illuminates the argument of that assigned reading. I would have rejected this paper.
This won’t be a popular opinion, but I don’t think the instructor was right here. The assignment said that the goal was for students to demonstrate they completed the readings *and* they could do so by reflecting on, among other things, their personal experiences. www.oudaily.com/news/ou-stat...
