Yeah, 9-12pg. It was probably good for me to write one, because I still suck at writing proposals (before I've written the paper, anyway).
I could probably use the practice as well, but...oh well. My introduction basically serves the same purpose at this point.
I hate it when that happens! I have so many papers from the end of last semester that I've never gotten feedback on....
It is a bit annoying, yes. At least this is the only one I'm missing; most profs here tend to be good about getting it back to you pretty soon.
You're in grad school. What other kinds of legends are there?
I think we have some beer-related legends. But yeah, not much else.
True (although modelling those techniques yourself can be crazy effective). But if you do break into lecture and you feel guilty, just remember that somebody in your class is thinking, "yes, I don't have to listen to my classmates anymore! I get to listen to someone who knows what she's talking about!"
That does make me feel better, actually. Although I seriously doubt I can say I know what I'm talking about in regards to rhetoric, which I just learned about, oh, last year...
(My high school English teacher steady lectured -- on her analyses of the texts -- and it was amazing. [There are few things about my high school I can legitimately call amazing.])
I seriously have no memory of being lectured to about a text. Ever. It's been discussion since we started reading texts.
(Also: Shutt.)
Well, there is that. Too bad I never took a Shutt class...
