Her essay is bad for a lot of reasons. It's true that it doesn't include formal citations, but it's not true that formal academic citations require locators. APA does not require you to locate citations with page numbers, chapter and verse, etc. unless it's a quotation. Here's an example.

This essay and the student attacking the professor are both gawdawful. The assignment prompt is also pretty bad! A lesser degree of badness, but still.
The criteria referenced in the (perfectly sane!) written feedback she received really are not communicated in the original assignment prompt.

Haha, I did it this morning too. I was basically starting from zero, as my watch says I have only run twice this year, and that back in March. Made it, but it was a worse than I expected.

I did the ICE PT challenge this morning. 15 pushups followed by a 1.5 mile run. The run was much harder. I am almost 40 and have only jogged twice this year, both times back in March. So, yes, an out-of-shape, middle aged man can do this, but I don't recommend it.

The Very Concerned People who have been very concerned about political violence for the past couple weeks seem not to be very concerned about this incident where a MAGA guy ran his pickup into an LDS Church, opened fire on the building, and burned it down, killing 4 and wounding 8.
