Why We Should be Teaching Students Grammar and Writing Skills
November 15, 2010 § 1 Comment
I got this email this morning for a study about what I’m not entirely sure because it’s not explained. What disturbs me even more is if this is legitimate, it comes from a respected research university and had to be sent out with the approval of the professor. Egads.
The laboratory on Sxxxxxxxxxxxxxx at the University of xxxxxxxxxxxxxx directed by xxxxxx is now running a study on the perceptions and social representation. This projet is designed to help understand how people build their perceptions on society and the individuels that composes it.
To permit ourselves to complet this projet, we are looking for participants to respond to the questionnaire. Would it be possible for me to come and present this study in you’re class? The participation would only last a maximum of 30 minutes and would permit you’re students to have an academic experience.
Thank’s for the attention you to this message!

This makes me very, very sad. Think … these people are in university and I am not. *shakes head in shame* Indeed if it is legitimate, the university ought to have its respectability reanalyzed.
