[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the poor writing was purposeful. If she actually put effort into it they probably would have just given her full marks on it, but she purposely wanted the low grade so that she could whine about it to the media. [/quote]

I think this too but its a reaction paper but her reaction has no relevance to the topic and doesn't draw into the article.  Its a poorly written rant.  On the flip side, this doesn't seem like a topic or paper for a psychology assignment.[/quote]

Her reaction absolutely has relevance to the article she was assigned. She doesn’t support what the article is arguing. Professors don’t assign reaction papers to factual non-controversial topics. The instructor wrote that everyone in the scientific commute agrees that sex is non-binary and not fixed. If the instructor wrote only gender were non-binary and not fixed then the zero would make more sense. [/quote]

She could have disagreed with the article using thoughtful arguments, citations to work they'd read in the course, etc. She chose not to do that.

If you were asked to react to an article saying "cookies are the best dessert," you could do that by making cogent argument in favor of pie, or you could write "cookies suck." The latter does not get a passing grade regardless of the validity of your opinion. [/quote]
