#and in recent years as we’ve been having conversations about standard beta practice in fandom vs academic commentary

I think when professors hand you back a project with comments they should have to tell you how cool and special and smart you are
#actually this is one of the hills I like to die on
#the fact that it’s standard academic practice to hand back papers or projects with only critical comments is—
#not insane because I know exactly why it happens and the culture totally encourages it
#but I think it’s incredibly detrimental to the skills and self esteem of students (at any level!) if they don’t know what they’re doing well
#it’s a twofold punch that encourages imposter syndrome AND keeps the student from being able to develop the good parts of their skills
#further
#not to mention when it keeps them from being able to leverage those skills consciously to improve their work
#and I know professors *can* give positive feedback with the critical stuff because it’s something I’ve been working on with my mom over the
#years
#she offers to leave comments on my papers a lot of the time
#and in recent years as we’ve been having conversations about standard beta practice in fandom vs academic commentary
#and the benefits and drawbacks of the tendencies of each system
#she’s been working consciously to leave a comment when she thinks I’ve done something well—not just when something needs work
#and it’s been SO helpful to know for me
#because a lot of the time I use that information while I’m working on the next paper
#anyways.
