Why does a college teacher for history or science take points off for grammer and spelling?
Im in a few classes this semister and I really want to know, if its not an english class, why do the teachers take off points for grammer and spelling?
Its not logical, its like me grading their teaching skills on weather or not they kick kittens.
If someone can explain why my grasp of writing the english language would even be considered in a non-english topic class i would appreciate it.
the only history class that should care how well you write should be history of the english language (not a real class that i know of). I can write well enough to get my point across and convey the knowledge of the topic i study. Im just talking about a paper that has notes in it like (-2 pts for a run on sentence) and (-2 points for using a non approved reference citation).
Do you think someone in the school would listen if I complained about it?

6 AnswersCelebrities1 decade agoWhat am i doing that is giving off the wrong signals?
Ok, im not much of a touchy feely type - with strangers especially.
I dont think im very attractive either. (you can be the judge of that if you need to use it in your equasions - http://360.yahoo.com/profile-um.dq0UwaaWtuFUbhCM- )
I am a pretty happy person all the time, but i dont flirt.
I even bought a book called superflirt that helped me tell what i was doing flirting wise so i could stop.
My problem is this - Everytime(at least 2 out of 4) i go out into public some girl desides to invade my personal space and touch me, while trying to start a conversation.
They do it around my friends to the point my friends all call me "gifted" but i call it cursed.. as its unwanted flirting/ personal space invasion.
Is it my pheremones? If so how do i cover it up?
5 AnswersSingles & Dating1 decade agoYour take on romance...?
I keep hearing from my friends "i buy her flowers, i pay for her to do stuff, we hang out, but she only wants to be friends."
Why do people seem to think these days that romance is a way to WOO an uninterested person into being madly deeply in love with them?
Romance to me seems to be a way to really add to a mutual attraction.
Has the idea of romance shifted, from 2 lovers wooing each other to some twisted way to try to buy someones affection?
Girls, do you have more guys that you dont want a relationship with trying to woo you over or does your boyfriend actually use romance more to make you fall more for him?
Ladies again... are there any guys out there that are currently trying to give you gifts to win you over, and you know it will never happen?

13 AnswersWords & Wordplay1 decade agoCommunicating with my doctor, suggestions needed.?
I am a disabled Vet. Very long story short is I have an unknown illness that causes pain in 50% of my body. I have a hard time communicating with my VA doctors because it takes 3 months to get follow up appointments. By the time a doctor has tried 2 or 3 things i get assigned a new doctor and have to start all over. I have memory problems and cant even remember what was discussed 3 months prior. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to keep records, communicate, and focus my doctor visits so that the next 8 years doesnt result in the same thing this past 8 years has. The same tests repeated over and over because the doctors change and i cant remember what theyve done. Mayby websites that can help? (best description of my illness is Thallamic Syndrome but its so rare and ive not had a stroke that it is unlikely)
