If he told you about it and you ignored it, then yes he is in the right. You
deciding not to do something which you think isn't importand is your mistake.
Heck Me reformating a short story because that is the only format the publisher
will excpt is commen. Heck I do
that every few days. You also have to remember that he will be reading lots of
papers. Things done to keep him from getting eye strain are often done. Oh by
the way, if a teacher doesn't say the size of the type is fixed, go with a
slightly larger type then normal,
and if you didn't use bold fonts to highlight anything, then make the entire
document bold. This will often raise your grade. You see anything which puts
the grader in a good mood helps your grade. I found this out when I started
losing my sight during colege. I went
to fourteen point bold so I could read my work. I was thanked for making it so
easy to read and grade. So I tried it in all my classes and three out of four
classes went up by one grade. I mean as a B to a B plus. However, ever so
often I got much better then
expected. I think the lower in the stack get judged worse because of the pile
up of the task. However, never got a lower grade from this trick. Did get a
bit added to how long the work was to be.
Remembering the styile is the only diffrence between, a newspaper report,
and a short story. You send the right one to the wrong place and it windes up
in the trash without being read. Colege is meant to get you ready for a job.
Very rarely does your boss let you
change the rules. The fact he gave the format and styile was what you were to
do. It can be like asking for a painting and some one just took a photo of it
or even made a stachue. You wouldn't expect to get the right payment after
that sort of change.
However, this aside, talk to him. It could still help your grade.
