Sophia Public Speaking

[monchevy]

Monchevy,
I haven't gotten back my first Touchstone, but I think that the posters who said you have to use the buzz words are correct.  A question used the word "context." I did a global search of "context" to make sure I covered the bases that needed to be covered.
As I said with previous tests/quizzes/etc. I try to figure out what the instructor wants, and I give it to 'em. Even if I think it's stupid. It appears that the Sophia graders want you to show that you've read the text book and can regurgitate it.
That's not uncommon. I think the same thing is true for the Purdue course I'm taking on-line. Just stick to their facts, and I do really well. I'm not even chewing the cud, ruminating (?) on it, and spitting it back out. I take the words, chew them into a different order, cite properly, and move on. It's been working for me so far. I'm getting an "A," and I don't know that the "A" reflects anything particularly outstanding.

I just wish this stupid class wasn't required. I'd just drop it like it's hot!!
