Being forced to make 'cards' of your quotes and bibliography seems like a waste of your time. What is the point of this?

Apparently when I get to college, and have lots of deadlines(and sooner) on more, and harder work, I will want to make as much EXTRA work as possible for myself.....

My english teacher is CONVINCED that in college this is the format her students will use.

Every prson with half a brain in the class wrote the termpaper(8 pages min) in the first month of the assignment(been going on for 4 months) and has spent the last 3 months doing her BS "helpers" which are of course, not helping.

Write a formal letter to the principal about the teachers bad teaching methods, offer and alternative. complain higher up. This stuff is useless what you are getting

School policy, every english class does the same (!#&(.

I never understood why people wasted their time doing all those pain-in-the-arse assignments. I would always just not bother handing in anything, or whatever I was able to do while half asleep and waiting for classes to start - usually some pathetic half-page that's poorly written and hasn't been proof read.


I think that in this case, I would of done nothing. That is an ungodly amount of pointless work.

It counts as a full marking period grade, and if we dont do it, we dont graduate.

Maybe if you'd done the helper assignments first and then the term paper you'd have found out they actually helped.

Doing the "helper" assignment I can see that it is thoroughly useless.
