[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I taught at a top university. This letter is not bad for a 17 year old. I was always highly amused at how students would hang themselves in email. For example, a student would send email requesting an extension on a deadline. I may have been perfectly inclined to grant it without much detail as to why they needed an extension...until I read through the next ten paragraphs of blathering nonsense about their social crisis and completely ridiculous reasons for an extension. [/quote] Oh God, yes! I got the point of saying "yes, you may have the extension as long as you promise not to tell me why you need it." My favorite reason was "this keg we got needs a really weird tap and I have to go all the way to Hightstown to get it."[/quote]
