In My College (QMC) I am no longer aloud to submit work that is written as we HAVE (for some stupid reason, probally to piss us off and make things more difficult) to send our work (home and course) via email top this markbook place.
I haven't got a laptop at the moment so when i worte a esasy (that i spent ages writing) she was like you can only hand it in via mark book. So she wants me to write it out on the PC for no reason, all nearly 5 pages so i can send it to her instead of hand in the written to her.
So I can't do that (doing important things like work and eating) because i haven't got time to re-write a massive peace of writing for the sake of it.
I don't understand why they need to make the college so technical i mean i can write with my hand. They have even bought the poshist photocopier ever which i cana't used because it's to complicated and the teacher is like you got to work it out yourself, so now i can't photocopy. There was nothing wrong with the other one either, i could use that one and so could anyone else.
Ah, i enjoyed getting that of my chest.

Good attitude. More likely because it's quicker than relying on post,easier to organise on the marker's side and probably cheaper for the college as well..
Yet you manage to find a computer to post on DS? In the working world, all reports and documents are done on computers, I'm afraid you'd better get used to it.
Perhaps your time-management needs work? Again, you find time to post on here
Some of the photocopiers out there are atrocious. If it's a communal one, stick around and ask someone using it for a bit of guidance, or note down the model number (you can write this by hand if you like) and google up a manual
As you may be able to tell I'm afraid I have little sympathy for you,sorry.
But possibly they also might want to run an electronic version of your work through some anti-plagiarism software to ensure that it is in fact your own work. They can't do that if it's a handwritten submission.
This...
... and this is correct.
In any case, I think that in future you'd find it much easier to word-process your work, since it makes it much easier to correct and change things.
"but the scanner's too complicated and I don't have time and it's just NOT FAIR"
This. Also, when you are at university or work, you will be expected to word-process essays and documents. It's a good skill and habit to develop.
Lol, just make sure you don't post it on the net anywhere or else it will get picked up by turnitin, and that would be bad
That's exactly what I thought too. I was under the impression that most colleges only accepted typed documents now anyway.
I'm also imagining you enjoyed entering the deliberate typos to prompt someone to say 'spell checker'...
Its been that way for ages. i had to type up my projects/essays for my A levels in 1998 so i don't know what the OP is complaining about.
Unfortunately even a spellcheck won't pick up everything.
i confused the hell out of my teachers by word-processing my work at school. It was 1994.
At high school (92 to 96) I'd have never used their rubbish dot matrix printer. Although some GCSE project stuff might have been typed I cannot remember.
I do remember at uni I'd written up an essay but it was pure rubbish as I'd misread the assignment. Anyway I re wrote it and typed it up.
On the day before we handed it in some lazy chump asked if they could copy my work. Guess which version I gave them?
We had one of these beauties:

80 characters per second! :eek:
Though Wordperfect with a blue background wasn't up to much...
Sign seen in a library:
"Reading Allowed But Not Aloud"
Sorry, I'll just get my coat
simple really.
A colour?! I remember writing on a pc with orange text on a black background!
Seriously though, considering you can get a refurb'd laptop for less than £100 (and perfectly fine for wifi, word, firefox etc), not really any excuse. And theres still free computers in librarys.
I barely ever write by hand anymore. Guess its a bit of a shame, but I live.
