Upholding academic standards in Oz

The Courier-Mail: Uni rocked by marking fiasco [21feb06]

A UNIVERSITY graduate student abandoned the institution in frustration after a marking fiasco during which a lecturer, Edwina Luck, told him to produce "more smarter writing". (A follow up email read): "I knew you would be di appointed, o what I have done i taken the middle ground. I am uppo ed to take the econd mark, but I did not want to kill you that much. I do hope that you have learned from thi . Not the point of a king for explanation, but that we a lecturer are not totally illy!! Academic writing i difficult. I hope all our comment can be helpful in the future. Edwina."
