Giving feedback on math papers
May. 13th, 2017 10:24 pmWhat a student writes:
"Now we want to decide what our parameter a should be, and we decide to set a = 1."
What a mathematician would write:
"Set a = 1."
Arrrgh, just skip all that unnecessary verbiage and get to the point!
...why did I agree to read and give writing feedback on 50 student papers on the same topic. /o\
