[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any chance this has something to do with psychology? I just looked it up and "affect" can be a noun in some cases.[/quote] "Affect" in psychology is a completely different term referring to one's expression (such as a "flat affect" in one's speech), accent on the first syllable. The student was correct and could very respectfully do one of two things: 1. just quietly go on and do what she knows to be right with the final product and turn it in; or 2. politely and naively feign confusion to ask the teacher privately about it, saying she was a bit confused - she thought "affect" was the verb and "effect" was the noun, and is the noun not appropriate in this structure?
