I am considering making the simple act of "following instructions" a mandatory, graded aspect of every class I teach. I mean, seriously: when I say, "the final exam is in Blackboard," that is exactly what I mean. Go to Blackboard and take the exam. Do not email me some essay you just decided you'd rather write instead and hope that I'm going to know what to do with it. Do not write some paragraph or something I didn't ask for and put it in the so-called "digital drop box." I will never see it again.
FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS. GO TO BLACKBOARD AND TAKE THE EXAM.
It's just not that hard. In fact, it's so not hard I don't even know what to say. I don't know where people get some of their ideas about whatever it is they think they're doing.
But it seems to me that if an English Major doesn't know how to read, we've got a serious problem.
