Re: Multiple choice vs. essay

Hello,

I didn't pick up the sarcasm angle and did not intend to convey that one
should be sarcastic. Perhaps I misinterpreted Beth's comment.  In said
hypothetical situation, the student comes to office hours or emails or
telephones and says "you gave me an F, why?"  And I would merely list the
reasons why - you failed the final, you didn't turn in the research project,
you did not come to class enough.

I think I misinterpreted. I thought Beth was indicating that she would
somehow tiptoe around the facts.  In retrospect, that's pretty silly on my
part, but since I am doing about 3 things at once this morning, I guess I
wasn't reading carefully enough.

Sorry.
