Chalk Talk: Considering Colleges
Teachers often dislike grading essay questions—it’s a fact! Here’s why: Students often don’t read the prompt carefully, and give a circuitous answer that requires the teacher to interpret the answer before they can award points. Directly answering the prompt is the best way to earn a good grade. Another reason essays aren’t a teacher’s favorite: bad handwriting. Though you won’t exactly be getting a handwriting grade, clear and legible writing ensures that the grader is understanding what you have written and will reward you for your correct ideas. Bad writing may cause the grader to miss your point—even if it’s correct—thus you’ll miss credit for your right answer. Remember, yours isn’t the only test the teacher will be grading; the teacher appreciate your forthrightness and your willingness to make it easier on him or her!
