DISCUSSIONE n. 6: scadenza 15 febbraio
I was really hoping nothing of this kind would happen, but here we are.
YES, you MUST leave a comment simply indicating that you read the thread. Nothing else.
If you want to add your personal opinion etc. go ahead, but it's not required.
I received this interesting message
with a courteous inquiry about the reason for a no credit in
a
compito.

Goodmorning professor,
I didn't receive credit for this work ? I thought you said
to put our Italian name as the file name.
I'm very confused.

But this wasn't the only message I received from students who got a NO CREDIT, so I thought I would clarify for all:

Observe that according to the student "I" didn't "put into the instructions" the info necessary to avoid an error.
It is obviously MY fault.

So, I played the video tutorial
that you all saw, I took a screenshot of the relevant info and
sent it with a comment below it
and now what other rude and obnoxious argument are you going
to come up with?

The student of course is not rude or obnoxious. (Actually, rude
and obnoxious people are so because they generally lack the
finesse to understand they are rude and obnoxious. )
Notice again that it's my fault for not
making the instructions clear.
Now, that is really really obnoxious.
I'm not being rude and or obnoxious. I asked you a simple
question and you decided to speak to me like a child and refer
to what I was asking as a "little stupid mistake". If you don't
want to give me credit for an assignment because
you didn't make the
instructions clear that's fine but if this is how you
interact with students on a regular basis it's truly a shame.
Thank you.

My reply. I responded interlinearly copying part of the previous message (my response in BLUE INK)

What is the moral of the story: in 99% of similar cases, the
student made a mistake. So, before you jump to the conclusion
that you MUST be right and I am some kind of witless moron,
THINK TWICE and check THREE TIMES.
And when you find I made a
mistake, I WILL THANK YOU for point it out. And so should you.

Discussione n. 4: scadenza lunedi 13 febbraio
1) With the exception of FOOD, have you ever used ITALIAN WORDS either speaking or in writing?
Which words can you remember using?
2) Make an effort and try to come up with ONE Italian expression or Italian word (NOT RELATED TO FOOD) you are familiar with. JUST ONE.
Everybody must come up with an original choice -- don't copy words that have been mentioned already BUT learn them and remember them if you didn't know them already.
