Every time I feel haughty about studying at the first, largest, and (one of?) the best schools of my field, I need only to pick up a paper to grade to be reminded that getting into this school doesn't seem that hard.
Comments I had to make on graduate student papers today:
- These [7 pages of] claims need to be backed by citations.
- Wikipedia is not a reasonable substitute for peer reviewed literature.
- If you are going to cite Wikipedia, at least put it in proper citation format. You can't just have the URL.
