The Visual Rhetoric of Grading

For those students who spent all of 20 minutes writing their major research papers, don't waste your precious dissertation writing time putting extensive comments. Instead, let the

time input into major paper = evaluative output of instructor's comments.

Therefore, I give you permission to just post these pics on students' papers. Just put them right on top of the page. If they don't learn any kind of rhetorical theory in our classes, perhaps they might learn to interpret visual rhetorical cues.
