Admin	papers Posted : 21 Oct, 2011 01:01 PM Any other students out there that hate writing papers? I don't necessarily like it, but it is a necessary evil of education. Now that my rant is over, back to work! Post Reply
bcpianogal View Profile History	papers Posted : 26 Oct, 2011 06:06 AM I usually avoid writing papers as much as possible (though I'll have to write a short reflective paper sometime this year as part of a faculty development initiative), though I never really minded it too much as a student. What I REALLY hate, though is grading papers! My students appreciate that, because that means I don't give them a lot of papers to write. :glow: Post Reply

paschen81 View Profile History	papers Posted : 26 Oct, 2011 10:49 PM I'm one of those who actually really enjoys writting papers... in fact in my PPE class I just wrote a 5 page report all within 3 hours start to finish and submission. I have another 3 page paper to write before weeks end which I will probably write either during my lunch break Friday or as soon as I get home from work before moving on to my other class assignments.

bcpianogal View Profile History	papers Posted : 28 Oct, 2011 07:43 AM I guess for a lot of people it depends on the type of paper they are writing. When I was a student (particularly in grad school), I was usually allowed to choose my own topic within certain parameters, and if I chose something interesting to me, I enjoyed the process of research and writing. Now that I'm a professor myself, though, my paper-writing consists of administration-required assessment reports...never much fun! Post Reply
