arghhhhh

at the risk of sounding random........doesn't it really annoy you when (let's say in Geography) you're told to write an A4 page on life in Japan. So when everybody hands in their A4 pages, there's always one little prat who goes and gives in four time amount the work asked of them. They get A+ and 'detailed work' while everyone else get's an A. when you read over this person's work it is four pages of rambling, barely skirting over the information that was meant to be included and is hard to read. Why do teachers give them high marks, why?!? The teachers at my school are so annoying, everybody spends just as much time on their work as him but because he rambles and scribbles down endless pages of drivel he gets good marks and teachers think he's put more effort in.
And now I'm using his technique so I'll stop this weird post now

Well done. A*, i've never seen such a detailed post before - 'would make a good undergraduate (first year) essay' :biggrin:

Back on topic: no it doesn't annoy me at all as i'm usually the 'one little prat' - well in classics anyway. :cool:

It tends to be the experienced teachers who aren't impressed by pages of work. It's better to be concise, so ignore what this guy is doing. Eventually it will catch up with him.

Aww, it is annoying when that happens. I have to confess though, I am known for rambling myself...but most of what I write is relevant, honest! :smile:

i usually find that it doesnt matter how long peoples answers are if the contents there then they still get the marks. one of my bezzie m8s usually writes pages an pages while i write shorter answers and the only subject which this helps her is english
