Hey, jhuerbin88

What kind of grade and remarks did your paper on the media and leftist bias get?

From 12/9/04 "Could you revise my paper?"

[BurghGuy]

I got a 92%...but my teacher is a democrat...go figure.

[MountaineerDave]

Ah, see! Some left-leaning folks CAN be fair.

Makes ya wonder about the "left-leanin'" media, doesn't it?

dave,

that's what my article was about...i thought it was a good one and some people helped me out with it...but i'll take the 92%

(even though i thought it should have been higher - example: a kid, who some may call a "stoner" writers about how the bush administartion is the worst ever and he gets a 99%)

[MountaineerDave]

Just 'cuz he's a stoner doesn't mean he can't write, 88.

[Tarkus]

Very true, Dave...

The stoners biggest problem is not the writing but how to keep the munchee stains from the BBQ'd chips from obscuring his words...

[KevinBeane]

Very true, Tarkus...

Although for me, it'd be BBQ pork rinds.

[Tarkus]

Ahh yes, Kev...

BBQ pork rinds....brings back distant memories, mmmmmm, ;)

[BurghGuy]

Yeah you are right dave...I don't I just get the feeling that i should have had a higher, but I'll take the A. And yes, maybe his paper was good, I never got to read it.

[Karen M]

92%, good for you.
Just a small piece of writing assignment advice that will almost always nudge your grade a tad. When you've completed the assignment, add a little more. Something off the wall, but within your subject. An example of what I mean, using your paper as the subject, would be to point out to the reader the bias (remember this is just an example ) in your own report and the irony of writing about media bias from your (nothing personal ) own biased point of view. Most instructors will find the "write a little more" paragraph(s) at the conclusion of any writing assignment an interesting and refreshing wrap up, and will more than likely, reflect that in the grade.
