Damn, that's sad.
On our courses' CMS at university there is a page dedicated to simple submission rules as you mentioned.
If people violate them, they're heavily deducted points or if it happens repeatedly their submission is excluded from grading.
It's not ideal, but it's a way to start a learning process. -
@AlexDeLarge I'll try to rephrase. It was awkward to write, but i was too annoyed to fix it.
During the class I TA, while explaining the homework, the lecturer explained, at least twice, that the summaries should be executive summaries.
*note: TA at the school has become a verb. The teacher's assistants have decided it's easier. -
@PonySlaystation thank you ❤❤❤

Lecturer I am a TA for said AT LEAST twice that the summaries should be executive summaries. With introduction, supporting paragraphs, and a conclusion while explaining the assignment in class.
Notice the plural form of paragraphs. WHY THE HOLY HELL am I grading papers that are a paragraph, or don't progress fluidly. Or look like a 4th grader wrote them instead of a college student about to graduate????
It's not that hard.
And if i have to send one more email repeating the requirements one more time including "yes, i will deduct points for bad grammar" the class is getting DDoSed. Idgaf. This is university, people. You should know this. Can confirm i write executive summaries regularly. Bosses want updates.
