Why Can'tjoe College Write?

5 UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SAN Dlt=GO THURSDAY, MAY 29, 1986 VOLUME 58, #18 / Why can'tJoe College write? By WENDY STERN, Staff Writer ERE'S THE situation: It is Sunday night, and you poli sci term paper is due in precisely 14 hours. You sit, H Walkman on one side of you and sunflower seeds on the other. You read the question. You read the question again , and the blank page on your typewriter stares back at you. "Well, what were the theories?" you ask yourself, beginning to flip frantically through your poli sci books for some shred of information that will help you to begin. Suddenly, you here a voice from inside, reminding you of something you had forgotten temporarily. "You are taking the class P/ NP, dope," the voice says. "Why worry about the theories? You only have to get a C- to pass." So on goes the Walkman, out come the sunflower seeds and just like that, you're in business. This situation should not come as a surprise; many students don't seem willing to put in the work required to produce an A paper. To stay up all night is for most, a common occurence, but a whole quaner's wonh of work can't often be done in one night The surprise usually comes when the paper comes back. The entire night was spent slaving over a C+ paper; to some this brings joy and to others, sorrow or anger. Either way, it makes no difference whether you are a poli sci major or a student taking the class P/NP for a GE requirement. The ,/ standards of writing are definitely not "A" material these days.
