A note at the end of my "World View Revision/Reflective Essay" for S.K.S.
(which, I feel it should be noted, is only worth 5% of my total grade for the class)
from Dr. A. H.

Even as I write this note to encourage you to develop these ideas more thoroughly (i.e. write more) I am confident my words will meet with resistence. Let me just say this, to fulfill the expectations of this assignment, you need to be willing to open up more. Do with this what you will.

Now, I ask you, does that sound like a not-even-bothered-to-be-veiled-threat or am I being paranoid?
Also, are the ideas that I have included in my essay undeveloped (confused, leave the reader hanging, etc) or does she simply want me to "write more"?
Finally, if this is truly a reflective essay of my world view and my college experience aren't I entitled to deal with that subject as intimately or impersonally as I desire? Further, what right does one human being (especially one in a position of power) have to force another to divulge the inner working of their developmental process/person?
Faithful readers, I am asking you to weigh in.

    Yeah... Dr. A. H. could use a chill pill. She wanted me to write more "personally" about stuff too. It made me want to kick her.
