Response to “A Stranger in Strange Lands” by Lucille P. McCarthy

Question 6.
Do you find the same variance in expectations of your writing from class to class that Dave experiences, or are the expectations you encounter more consistent? What have been your strategies so far for handling any differing expectations you’re finding? Does McCarthy’s work give you any ideas for different strategies?

Response 6.

All of my classes have very different writing expectations. It can be very frustrating at times. I try to follow the course syllabus and assignment sheets to match the proper style of writing. There is a lot which is not written though. I must think about what the teacher says and how sentence structure must match that. Sometimes the words themselves are what are important and sometimes the content behind the words is what matters. What McCarthy says is not helpful to me because I have already strategized how to deal with it and she only says things which are too complex and not direct enough.
