So. Had to write a few pages of synopsis for a play I'm working on but will never need or want to finish. As an addendum, my professor asked that I append a list of my characters with brief descriptions to it for her convenience. I figure that the simplest way to do that would be to staple the very thing to the back of the synopsis, with a few pen marks from when we looked it over a week or two ago. I get it back marked down because I "didn't follow instructions". When I asked about this, I was told that I was, and I quote, double dipping on my work. For ten lines of character summary attached not for a grade, but to keep the professor from needing to remember what I had already written. Because I didn't ctrl-c ctrl-v it to the front of the synopsis. And that the assignment wasn't about the content or the effort, it was about following instructions.
Granted, the class is utterly meaningless and uninformative, a survey course requirement that I had overlooked and needed to knock out at some point before I graduate, but I have
never met someone that anal-retentive before (Okay, a small lie: I have, on multiple occasions.), particularly over something that was their own fault. I've never contemplated being deliberately spiteful on an evaluation before, but in this case I think I can make an exception while continuing to be completely honest.
