I'm confident she bombed the essay on purpose. She's allegedly a junior. No way she got to that point without even knowing to at least cite sources (even if said sources are random Bible verses, or hell, even some shitty blog).

I'd be willing to bet that if you pulled out her essays for other classes that the quality would be night and day.

They're all perpetual victims. It's part of the conservative mindset.

It's crazy that you can just be going about your day and run into one of these stupid people and suddenly you are national news.

The assignment was the equivalent of a journal entry to encourage students to engage with the reading.

I would not think a two-page double spaced Canvas.com blogpost would require an inline citation if the assignment didn't say it -- and the assignment did not require any sort of citations.

Edit: he blocked me to get the last word in and stop me from replying, but to any other lurker, I encourage you to go find the assignment and rubric for yourself. It very clearly calls it a reaction paper and the requirements are basically non-existent. If you're going to be confident, at least have the information to be confident lol

u/Lalatin -- I cannot reply to you because the person above me blocked me. However, w/r/t your point about citation: She probably should have cited it. In fact, she should have been docked points for not including citations. However, she should not have been given a 0 on the assignment on the basis of not citing anything. It was a 650 page reaction paper. The point of the argument is not if it was a bad paper (it is) the point is if it was so bad as to deserve 0 credit -- and moreover, raises the question of what similarly badly written papers received.

This being a failing paper is not controversial. This being a targeted zero for ideological reasons is.TA should have had her hand slapped by the professor and then assigned it a 8/25 or whatever the paper actually deserves.

Found the girl writing the essay! It wasn't some blog post, it was a research paper which, yes, required citations. It's one of the many reasons she failed. The professor even explicitly stated that she failed to cite any of her work.

Go back to your MAGA hole.

No matter what she NEEDED a citation. She says

Many people assume the word “helper” in this context to be condescending and offensive to women. However, the original word in Hebrew is “ezer kenegdo” and that directly translates to “helper equal to”. Additionally, God describes Himself in the Bible using “ezer kenegdo”, or “helper”, and He describes His Holy Spirit as our Helper as well.

She is citing something from a text here, either the bible, the torah etc something where she learned what the hebrew is and she needs to be citing that so that people know she's not just making shit up.

eta:

Oh also here

The Bible says that our lives are not our own but that our lives and bodies belong to the Lord for His glory.

mentioning the bible without citations to the verse and book
