[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teaching is pretty good at most community colleges, as there is no incentive for research. The exception is English composition classes, which are now graded mostly by computer. Stay away from these, as students are often discouraged by the extremely rigid requirements of the computerized grading system (spacing, Harbrace Handbook footnote references). I've seen excellent writing graded down because students used split infinitives, didn't have three sentences per paragraph or two spaces after each period.[/quote] What school use these? I teach English at NVCC and have never even heard of computerized scoring. No one I know who teaches CC in Texas, New Jersey, or Virginia uses this system either...[/quote]
