Annotated Bibliographies

[Solidify]

I've officially had it.

Today, I received an assignment outline from one of my new semester's teachers and he made it clear that in order to avoid being failed for plagiarism, we needed to quote ("...") anything we did not write ourselves. Nothing less, nothing more.

I personally find it absurd, not to mention completely tiring, that each teacher and college have different methods of quoting and delivering annotated bibliographies. Quite frankly, I think that's where the majority of student suicides stem from lol. One teacher asks it done one way, and another makes it distinctively clear to follow-through with another manner. MLA, APA, etc. What's the point in learning one if your next teacher is going to tell you to do it differently. Not to mention, the damn MLA and APA structures are updated so frequently, it's literally impossible to tell which is the right one.

Screw school.

I do hate school as well. You learn one thing from a teacher and then you hear a totally different thing from the other.
Hope my future medical teachers won't be like that.

How old are you?
In the UK, at my school [Grammar], we've had to do this since year 7 [11/12 years old]


Why so serious?

My age is irrelevant. You obviously didn't get the point. That being, the teachers aren't consistent.

Depending on education policy or resources, an individual may not be formally taught certain writing styles. For example, there are differences in the Oxford (England) and Harvard (North America) writing styles, which may or may not be taught in other English-speaking countries.

In your situation, if you remain within the UK education system, you will likely receive a consistent education in writing styles up to tertiary level.

Actually, since education policies can change according to political winds, different generations can often be subject to different teaching styles. The results extend beyond the education of formal written English. Teachers, like most of the population, are simply agents of the system who cultivate their students (or clients) according to the whims of power. Young students in early 20th-century Germany and China were cultivated to support the racial and class prejudices of Hitler and Mao, by teachers as instruments of the state.

Cool. Can that do it automatically too? In bibme.org, all you have to do is paste the book title or the website and it'll do the rest for you.
