Second update: It seems like I have been given a second chance. I've
got until the end of January to fix my paper and pass the class.
Whaddya know - people at MIT are alright.
Update: I might be given a second chance to turn this baby around during the break. More later.
I've been getting a lot of congratulations for my last post. But things aren't all rosy.
I received a brutally terse email from my TA in Research Scopes & Methods - a tedious class on carrying out a political science research experiment.
"Ernest, Your submission under no circumstances meets the minimum requirements for the Final Paper."
That paper constitutes most of the course grade, so, in effect, I've failed the class. I expected as much, having told this to Joshua a couple of days ago. That 20-page final paper was intensely hard to write, and the 10 pages I turned in ultimately amounted to little more than a feeble attempt at engaging the material.
