I've officially had it.
Today, I received an assignment outline from one of my new semester's teachers and he made it clear that in order to avoid being failed for plagiarism, we needed to quote ("...") anything we did not write ourselves. Nothing less, nothing more.
I personally find it absurd, not to mention completely tiring, that each teacher and college have different methods of quoting and delivering annotated bibliographies. Quite frankly, I think that's where the majority of student suicides stem from lol. One teacher asks it done one way, and another makes it distinctively clear to follow-through with another manner. MLA, APA, etc. What's the point in learning one if your next teacher is going to tell you to do it differently. Not to mention, the damn MLA and APA structures are updated so frequently, it's literally impossible to tell which is the right one.
Fuck school.
