Shrouded Tendered Nuisances
I'm getting used to having classes here.
One sure sign is that even the smallest things are starting to annoy me. Every time I hand in an assignment, I put it on the pile with the other students' assignments. And that's when I see them and wince.
Cover pages.
Why do people overzealously use cover pages on mere homework? If it was a report or a paper, it would quite appropriate, but a few questions from the textbook?!? If every student in UBC used a cover page, that would be about 43,000 sheets of paper gone to waste, or two 1,000 year-old trees. And that's just for one assignment. One single assignment.
Why do some students feel so compelled to put an extra sheet of paper in the way between the prof and the homework he is grading, when the upper margin of the paper would more than suffice for identifying the student and his class? Any professor with the right mind should deduct points for redundant cover pages on the grounds of wanton interference with the student work evaluation process.
And any students using those report cover folders on their homework should additionally get their asses kicked by treehugging hippies.
