Re: Rodney Dangerfield in Back to School
Yeah, that sounds about right. I remember Saskatchewan had a bunch of biker gangs and in the 80s the Hells Angels finally moved in and absorbed them. I knew where their clubhouse was in Saskatoon—near a field where I helped coach a kid's football team—but I don't think I ever once saw one of the members out in public, riding or otherwise.eumaas wrote: ↑26 Oct 2017, 2:38pmI think the 70s?Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑26 Oct 2017, 2:34pmYikes.

Might be the late 60s even. But yeah, founded it out in BC and it spread from there. BC of course being a great spot for the drug trade.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑26 Oct 2017, 2:53pmYeah, that sounds about right.

Re: Rodney Dangerfield in Back to School
Very nearly finished. On target to graduate with highest distinction even if I botch this paper and get a B in the history seminar.

Re: Rodney Dangerfield in Back to School
Tho I expected nothing less from you.
I'm grading term papers and again being plagued by my peeviest of pet peeves—the inability to cite properly. It's just following a formula! And when you've been warned multiple times that I take this shit seriously, they still invent a crazy patchwork quilt of citation styles. I wonder if more attention would be paid if I announced that I was using a grading rubric and that, like, 20% of the assignment grade was based on citations.

Re: Rodney Dangerfield in Back to School
It's funny you mention citation. I had a particularly complicated archive to cite and the professor didn't want to deal with figuring out the best method and so let me retain the ad hoc method I had come up with for the first draft.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑05 Dec 2017, 2:42pmTho I expected nothing less from you.

Anyway, paper is finished! It could use more work and polish but I am too damned exhausted.

Re: Rodney Dangerfield in Back to School
Honestly the paper should be twice its length but I wasn't about to overwhelm him with a doubled assignment.

Re: Rodney Dangerfield in Back to School
Archival stuff is almost always a pain in the ass to cite. Most people are fine as long as the format is consistent. Also, the prof's laziness is always the student's best friend.eumaas wrote: ↑05 Dec 2017, 7:55pmIt's funny you mention citation.

It happens. I've already had two papers where I've been overly generous because, considering their work in the class as a whole, I couldn't justify dropping them down as much as the paper's grade would do. I've had that happen a few times in the past and always give the benefit of the doubt to three months of interaction rather than a single paper. That's the thing I don't like about the term paper—it necessarily packs so much of the final grade on a single assignment usually due at the same time as other courses' major assignments. Yeah, students should budget their time better, but I just don't feel that someone who has been a solid contributor all year should be kneecapped by a poor paper.Anyway, paper is finished!
