McCarthy "A Stranger in Strange Lands" p.261 Discussion q.6

As was mentioned earlier in the article, Dave wrote depending on what the teacher wants. I feel like that's how my writing has also been. In English it was more about getting the thesis down and having proper grammar and spelling. For science papers it was more about the content. So far I have different expectations in each class. In my U.S. class I cannot at any cost write in first person. In this class, that's not such a problem. In my lifespan in development class, I have to write a paper that is basically just research, but it's broken up into categories: literary review, are findings for our pecha kucha's, our cross cultural findings, etc. I guess if anything, McCarthy kind of showed me to be more conscious of the quality, quantity, relation, and manner of my papers.
