Doing the Work

I have so far made it though two "classes." These are intresting and somewhat fun. The one problem is some of the requirments. I am not a perfect writer, wish I was. The problem is the graders will hit you at three points for the same error.

This is a real example of the grading. Notice the only item I am pegged on is grammar. For that I bombed this and had to redo. Though, I must admit that being able to redo is nice. Though, if the class had been a % class I would have passed prior to this one being done.
