Blog Promp 5: I'm The Teacher Now!!

I never realize what teachers have to go through in order for them to grade paper. I now have a new found respect for them when it comes to that. I read four different research papers and I gave each of them a respective grade.
The first essay that I graded was " Foreign Athletic Limits". I gave this essay a D. I gave it a D because thay had alot of grammatical errors, but most importantly they did not have a clear thesis about their paper and they kept rambling thoughtout, jumping from one idea to another without any clear format.
The second paper that I graded was "Online College vs. Online High School". I decided to also give this essay a D. This one also had many grammatical errors but the thing that was most troubling was the fact that they had some references but throught the paper they were quoting numbers and statistics without any clear references or resourses. If someone wanted to challenge this paper and wanted to make sure that the sourses they used were correct, they might not have been able to find them because some were not listed.
The third paper that I graded was intitled "Predisoped to Divorce". I decided to give this essay a B- or C+. I gave this essay that grade because again like the one's before they had some grammatical errors and the essay had a thesis but when it came time for them to explain there thesis, they did not do that. They spent most of the essay elaberating about the topic. They went on to give good details but they did not do a good job explaing their thesis.
The last essay that I graded was "NAACP Case Against Gun Manufactures". I decided to also give this essay a B- or C+. This was due to the fact that as all the other essays before, it had some grammatical errors. They did however have a thesis and did a very good job explaing their thesis however they did not provide all of the sources that they used thoughout their essay. They gave great examples and great information but they did not list all of the source of were they were getting this information.
