It's just that I notice there are a lot of instructions to copy, and I get a lot of students from foreign countries who have been taught they SHOULD copy because if not, they are not honoring their elders. Of course they cite, but at the same time they have very odd ideas about what they should cite, and it is all about having the right to an opinion or not, or the Leslie B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10020364290777579994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1055932257464975902.post-44432809258759473602017-11-12T18:39:13.451-06:002017-11-12T18:39:13.451-06:00(Although since I have commented under my name I m...(Although since I have commented under my name I must qualify and say that once I got back from Brazil FRM did read, and read in a timely manner, and make comments that were at least in part useful; that GK should have been the director of it and was nice; and that TC was *right* about certain parts of it and I still have his comments archived for when I get back to that mss. to do it in a Leslie B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10020364290777579994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1055932257464975902.post-36424018692506025542017-11-12T18:34:34.771-06:002017-11-12T18:34:34.771-06:00Right.

I had written things on about that level in 6th grade, and they wanted it at that level; *so much less* was desired than ever before, or in other words you seemed to have to regress so much to do something passable. And *then* they went on about my Leslie B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10020364290777579994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1055932257464975902.post-49406635613620174392017-11-12T17:12:21.152-06:002017-11-12T17:12:21.152-06:00Interesting.

Biographical information wasn't as easy to get then, and biography wasn't the focus of my research, and what they wanted was a retelling of what had already been said. It wasn't easy to figure out what to do, especially given that so much of what had been said was so mythologizing, and not Leslie B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10020364290777579994noreply@blogger.com
