students make me want to hit things. students, mostly.

Just had a brief look over the essays coming in. Apparently, half of them are incapable of understanding simple instructions:
* About half put their name on their essay,
* About a quarter used single spacing,
* In a few I glanced at, despite the notice I posted to the discussion board about Wikipedia and online encyclopedias, they had referenced Wikipedia. In their first paragraph. Several times.

Grrr. I will be telling them off, in the coming week. Sternly.

be prepared for many years' of ongoing frustration:-) but some of them do learn... eventually. sorry you had a bad day. try to see the humour though (some of the words of wisdom will undoubtedly make you laugh).
