A little hypocritical don't you think..?
Did I make some grammatical error? Feel free to enlighten me. I wasn't aware that PPRuNe was peer reviewed
.
I'm not referring to inane rules of grammar but things like basic sentence construction, referencing and refraining from using Wikipedia as a source.
It is just my observation from three bouts of tertiary study; the first in the 1990s, the second in the mid 2000s and the third at present. I study alongside students who are mainly school leavers; many of them are extremely bright and ambitious but lack a grounding in referencing and academic writing. It's particularly noticable amongst the students who took science subjects for years 11 and 12.
These skills used to be taught at school. Now they aren't.
