I have been stuck forever at my 7th assignment.
The first time it came back, I was asked to resubmit Part C, the copyediting and proofreading exercise.
I ignored it the whole of the summer hols, started work on it when Beth went back to school, and received the result yesterday.
"Thank you for resubmitting Part C of your Assignment 7.
It pains me to ask you to resubmit this again rather than spell out the problems and give you a lower mark...
There is not a lot of work to do and I am sure it will not take you long to send me a super assignment."
The trouble with notching up Ds and High Ds from the start of the course is that it makes this latest setback particularly irksome. I thought I'd thrown in everything when I re-worked the assignment, but I guess I was wrong. I still have much to learn about the difference between copyediting marks and proofreading marks.
As the Jedi Masters constantly exhort their Padawans, I need to detach myself from my emotions and just focus on what needs doing.
