A good place to vent, share knowledge, make friends and laugh. An excellent way of building confidence in and getting feedback on one's writing and communication skills.

Has Prof. Jolley released her 'ideas' to you to publish here? Or would she release them? Might work well on your user page? I've misplaced my copy that you sent me several months ago...:-( Hopefully I can still find it on my hard drive or one of my floppies...

Very...interesting...post !!!

...rate them as you see them ??

Not to meet to someone else's expectations.

If someone sees a review/essay as VH and I see it as H, that's life. Or vice versa. Advisor or not. Certainly not my place to question anyone's rate, other than face-to-face on something I have written and published.

Just my humble opinion...
