My WIP, The Bad Book, rewrites problematic bible stories to demonstrate how problematic they are. Would love suggestions of what you think should be included.

@BevJacksonAuth @TurningPointOU Baloney. This is a religion colliding with empirical evidence. The article wasn't even about being trans. It was about gender stereotypes and bullying. She didn't fulfill the assignment and deserved the grade she got.

[Jamie Marchant @JamieMarchantSF]

@dumbassgenius @TurningPointOU I'm a retired professor, and no way does she get a chance to redo the assignment. A student that writes this poorly doesn't have the capacity to do the assignment at a passing level. If you allow her to rewrite her crap, you have to let every other student as well.

[Jamie Marchant @JamieMarchantSF]

@TotallyAllen @TurningPointOU Wrong. Even at a bible college, this is a failing essay. She wasn't failed for her opinion, but for not following the assignment.

[Jamie Marchant @JamieMarchantSF]

@TaritaC @TurningPointOU As I also told my students, you can have any opinion you want, but your opinion is only as good as your evidence.

[Jamie Marchant @JamieMarchantSF]

@itrade258 @TurningPointOU Sorry, but this is the rubric she was given. She did none of those things. She didn't remotely follow the directions. Also, the essay isn't underwhelming. It is written at a middle school level at best. It isn't college work.

[Jamie Marchant @JamieMarchantSF]

@Utahdesert @TurningPointOU And the essay fails on every measure.

[Jamie Marchant @JamieMarchantSF]

@brightestpet @TurningPointOU Honey, the article the student was supposed to react to wasn't about being transgender. It was about gender stereotypes and bullying. Her response doesn't follow the assignment and is written at a middle school level. It deserved a failing grade.

[Jamie Marchant @JamieMarchantSF]

@SeanTrapani @TurningPointOU You aren't a college professor. She didn't reference a thing from the article she was supposed to be reacting to, nor follow any of the directions. It is also poorly written. It would have gotten a failing grade from any actual college professor.

[Jamie Marchant @JamieMarchantSF]

@greg_scott @TurningPointOU What she looks like has nothing to do with the fact that the student didn't follow the assignment. There isn't a college professor on earth that wouldn't fail that "essay."

[Jamie Marchant @JamieMarchantSF]

@sandyt0es @CrabbyAshley @TurningPointOU Yeah, it was a reaction paper, and she doesn't reference a single thing from the article she was supposed to be reacting to. That makes it a zero in any college level class.

[Jamie Marchant @JamieMarchantSF]

@Bullets888 @TurningPointOU The student didn't remotely follow the directions. The essay doesn't address the article as required, has no organizational structure, is poorly written, and includes no empirical evidence. It would get a zero in any college class.

[Jamie Marchant @JamieMarchantSF]

@TurningPointOU But the problem is that she wasn't failed for sharing conservative or Christian beliefs, but for failing to follow the instructions. Her "essay" doesn't do any of the things required in the assignment. It is also repetitive and has no organizational structure. She deserved a 0
