I love critical theory, I love seminars, I love reading groups, I love universities as public goods, I love historiography of disciplines and knowledge itself, I love difficulty and difficult questions, and I love the humanities being human. And that's the hill I die on.
Course description so good I almost liked a hate tweet.
Your child goes to Princeton and decides to major in English. So let's look at the course offerings. To begin, how about a course on dolls? "These small, domestic, and seemingly trivial objects have played surprisingly significant roles in large socio-cultural histories,

if you become an academic and literature ceases to move you, that’s just a major skill issue and you should quit your job, sorry
“If you love reading, skip grad school.” Eric Jager, an English professor at UCLA, explains why he tells students not to pursue graduate degrees. compactmag.com/article/if-you…
The reading for my class is one novel per week but it's the same one every time and students have to reread it until they get it right
One thing I try to make clear to TAs is that in any grading dispute I support them. Doesn’t matter if I would have given pity points where the TA didn’t. If the TA is operating reasonably within the norms of the discipline, faculty should back them up.
Given that the instructor cited “learning goals” in their feedback, it is also likely that an expectation of empirical evidence was explicitly outlined in a syllabus or LMS. Students should be expected to interpret instructions with such expectations in mind.
Given the parameters of the assignment, the student could have cited specific sections of the paper (with proper APA citations) and then tied that information back to their own experiences as a Christian. Simply spouting personal theology does not fulfill this requirement.
I’ve seen arguments that the essay should not have received a 0 given the rubric, but the instructions made it clear that the purpose of the assignment was to demonstrate engagement with the article and that essay simply did not do that (hence, a 0 for incompleteness).
on the other hand, it is ghoulish to expect that specialized knowledge production should be read by and legible to everyone
It's rather strange that one of the core activities of academia—and, as far as I know, this is true across all its branches—has become the writing of texts that no one will ever read.

Well, at least I’m 100% positive my favorite author, Thomas Pynchon, never did anything weird or gross. Time to move him further up the pedestal.
