<< it was not my intention to cut someone to pieces for an honest effort, but
at what point do we have to set and keep -some- level of standard? i've
made similar negative comments in my time, always with suggested readings
for the entrant, on the use of chocolate, chili, tomato, potato, and
maize. am i really as evil as i seem? >>
No, you are not, because there are times when it is unavoidable. As a Grad
student grading papers I always tried to make positive comments along with
points that could be improved. There were times that the work was so poor
that it was a stretch to come up with something positive. Occassionaly I had
to ask my husband to read a paper to come up with a positive comment, because
I couldn't. What there has to be is a balance between keeping standards and
providing a way for the person to improve. Sometimes the best you can do is
offer new sources and help for the next project.
