Makes me remember my own Journalism 101 prof. He was the head of the department, probably could have taught any class he chose. He always taught the 101 class. It was his baby. Our assignments were graded on content and handling of subject matter. For misspelling and straying from the assigned task, work was failed and dismissed out of hand. He was ruthless. Half the class was gone by mid term and that to him was as it should be. He was brutally frank about it from day one. He was not there to teach spelling, he said, and if you couldn't use a dictionary or follow instructions you should consider another major. I will never forget him.
