Academic Tone Jeopardy: Questions and Source

1) If you're interested in reviewing all of the questions from today, here's a handout with the questions and answers.

2) Here's the source for many of the questions from today's game. As far as the ones we discussed in detail today, I'd advise to just use he/she in most cases. I don't disagree that 'she' doesn't sound "natural" but it's a case of the English langauge changing. You just don't see it very much. Others might disagree with me but I've heard that from some authorities. In any case, knwo that 'he/she' or even 'they' are used most of the time. I usually say 'they.'

In regards to 'we' and a condesending tone, I agree with the statement because the key here is 'overusing.' In moderation it might be OK. However you shouldn't be using it at all so just avoid it.

Hopefully that helps! Let me know if you have more questions!

I'm giving you your grades today but please note that....
-It doesn't include all of participation points or your reflective essays. It also doesn't include the attendance grade and final paper, so it's not entirely accurate.
