So last term I took my Capstone course and I used the proper citations within that paper. I received a 400/400 on the paper. Perfect score for the supposedly hardest course you’ll take for your degree. I got a 998/1000 in said course as well.
Now I’m in another course, a lower level course that I wasn’t able to take until this term. I turned in a paper, followed the same citations I used for my Capstone, the common citations used within every course for Kaplan and it came back with 198/200 because I supposedly did my citations wrong. Seriously. How is it I can get a perfect score in the hardest class for the degree yet supposedly I did my citations all wrong?
I want consistency in courses. I want them to all have to take a class on citations not follow some stupid manual that they get sent. And if they’re going to follow some stupid manual make sure that those teaching the Capstone are using it. I’m assuming the person teaching the Capstone knew more than the professor teaching the lower level.
It’s just annoying to say the least because I had a perfect grade. It’s like teachers don’t like seeing perfect grades or something.
On a side note I’m hating my stupid career development class. I’m not returning to work. I don’t need to know how to write a stupid resume, I’ve done that for ten years now. I don’t need to know how to network, been there, done that. I don’t need to learn how to search for a job and know my skills, seriously in this day and age who doesn’t know how to do that crap? What a waste of time and money.

/ December 2, 2008the school doesn’t seem very good.
expensive lesson!
still in 5-10 years you don’t know what you will need or want so education is never a waste.
my mom got her bachelors and didn’t use it for 10 years.
now she needs it to teach and stuff.
learning is always worthwhile; just next time we need to do it cheaper :)
