Conservapedia talk:Perfect paper

I'm thinking of taking a red pencil to this to regrade it...  ħ uman  20:24, 9 October 2008 (EDT)
 * That was more or less why I put it here. 20:26, 9 October 2008 (EDT)


 * Nicely formatted Antifly. 20:33, 9 October 2008 (EDT)
 * What grade do we think these students are? And her vocab gives her away.  She is clearly a well read studend, so I'm dubious she belives anything she wrote.  Maybe she was teh chick interviewed in the TV show.-- 20:48, 9 October 2008 (EDT)

 * Nah, check the diff. By the way, our comments will be easier to read if we set this up as a side-by-side, dontcha think?  ħ uman  21:13, 9 October 2008 (EDT)

Deletion
In conjunction with Genghis' suggestion here perhaps we should consider deleting this page for good. It seems somewhat cruel to criticize one student alone (even though we deleted the name). I think that it would be better to wait for Andy's "model answers," and set up a similiar page to criticize those. The model answers are more or less the same as a perfect paper, and we can focus our criticism on Andy instead of the students... Just a thought. (And the work done so far on this page will not be for naught as we use the format as a template for the model answers pages.)-- 11:33, 11 October 2008 (EDT)
 * Not to !vote either way, but I think the point to critique Andy for calling it perfect, not the student who wrote it. It's not the student's fault that Andy's a tool.  But then I haven't read the article lately (will in a moment) so I can't speak to its tone or approach...  ħ uman  15:06, 11 October 2008 (EDT)
 * We started this before with the Model Answers to Homework One, but it got left unfinished & forgotten about.  w easeLOId [[Image: Weaselly.jpg|15px]]~ 19:03, 11 October 2008 (EDT)

Cartoon
Did any of the students make any comment on the bear's mention of lending Mr. Bull his fleet? It's been a long time since any history classes, but it seems that would be worth mentioning in terms of a close relationship between the two. --Kels 15:19, 11 October 2008 (EDT)

Coming Attraction
I'm working on an Andrew Schlafly homework & grading generator (in the style of the quote generator) which which will generate random history questions & grade answers in the style of Aschlafly. I thought I had it worked out today, but I think I've made the coding too complicated & it doesn't work yet, so I need to come back to it with a clear head & sort it out properly. Stay tuned.  w easeLOId ~ 19:09, 11 October 2008 (EDT)

Last few questions
I'm not qualified to do anything with this, but the last two questions are unmarked, and the last in particular contains some real zingers. Comparing homosexuality to slavery? This is what he accepts as a superb and factual comparison? Oh... wait... sorry, I forgot this is ASchlafly. Wazza (Not Wazzock, Wazza)Approach the Presence 21:08, 11 October 2008 (EDT)

Vague
One of the things i noticed about this was that the vague terms such as "really" "very" etc on here quite a few times. Seriously? cmon i learned not to do that in 9th grade english in my public school education. doing it on the internet is one thing, doing it on homework and getting a 100% is just...i mean really?--BenB (talk) 14:35, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

What level of class was this?
Was this class meant for middle schoolers, high school freshmen, AP United States History, or what? Because, obviously, you can't judge a simplistic answer from an eighth grader for not delving into historiography or not using big words. Example: How did the North and South feel about tariffs, and why? The North liked tariffs because it was mainly businesses and high tariffs meant less competition with their products from imports. The South disliked the tariffs because it was made up of farms and plantations and tariffs meant that they had to pay more money for materials and equipment and didn’t make it any easier for them to sell cotton. Yes, there is a lot wrong with this answer, if you were grading it from a college-level perspective. But it gets most of the general point across, if the class was only on the very basic middle-school level. 03:30, 11 August 2010 (UTC)


 * While I would expect something of that complexity on a test or limited-space paper assignment, it's not something that could be considered a detailed answer (and thus be perfect). For similar assignments around high-school level, it's around the time where students would normally get introduced to the five-sentence-paragraph or five-paragraph-essay, both of which contains enough information to either stand up to some skepticism or help identify any flaws in reasoning.  Based on the length of answers, I might consider it to be pre-Grade 10 - possibly pre-high school, which could mean credit from this course is mediocre at best. However, it could be my high standards estimating this. --Sigma 7 (talk) 05:03, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
