Probably a better teacher too when it comes to that. This is the kind of insightful critiques that really help me to build the skills I’m going to require to be successful.
I suppose I should clarify; I had a paper returned for revision and among the reasons it was kicked back are:
Missing sentence case for article title – The titles of work appear in title case, with most words capitalized, instead of sentence case.
Missing italics of journal title – APA style requires the use of italicized font for periodical volumes.
Separate the single author and the publication date with a comma in-text.
The abbreviated version of the word ‘volume’ is improperly included.
All text should be double-spaced
Some rando evaluator
What I’d really like to get from an evaluation is maybe some indication of whether or not I understood the material from the class well enough to put together a coherent argument. What I get is ”MISSING COMMAS, IMPROPER ABBREVIATION FOR ’VOLUME’!”
Which would make sense if I was working on my masters in copy editing.
But I’m not.
If I am in a hospital bed and a nurse hands me their dissertation
and I notice single spacing I am immediately out of there.
Bare butt and catheter be damned.
You watch out for them butt catheters there, buddy.
