Today, I got back my history paper. The whole paper had been crossed out and at the end, my professor had written "Really?!" I still don't know what I did wrong. FML

Hi all - I'm OP. I actually went to talk to my teacher and it turns out when he tells us to do "citations" he automatically assumes we know he actually means "footnotes". I accidentally started crying during our meeting and I think it freaked him out, so he's offering me a chance to rewrite it! Ah, the power of a girl's tears!

47 I hope you never become a teacher of any kind. In order to be a good teacher you must give feedback - both good and bad. A "come see me" would have suffice as it encourages a conversation between student and teacher to discuss what went wrong.

Did you by any chance portray Abe Lincoln as the vampire hunter who went to Transylvania with Bramstocker to exorcise Vlad the impaler?

Ever think about talking to your professor after class? That is the logical thing to do.

I bet you used Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Slayer as your main resource, didn't you?

Wow was the whole point of the paper to use proper "citation" format? He shouldn't have crossed your paper unless that was the case. If that was only part of the requirements for the paper, I'm thinking there was more wrong to it but you scared him with your tears so he decided to calm you with a "casual mistake" excuse.
