A few weeks ago, I brought some basic grammatical error that I thought I had made to Professor McCoy. I was asking if I was supposed to start a new paragraph after I used quotations. She responded with a confused “No, did you learn that in your previous training?”. (I just had the urge to start a new paragraph) However, yes I did learn that in my previous training.
In fact, there are several grammatical errors and ways of writing that I have been struggling with in college. Much of it has to do with punctuation and grammar which to me is like the mathematics of writing (boring and kind of hard).
So something I struggle with that I wish professors would clarify is punctuation after quotations to end and start a new sentence. For example, is it
“Dan said this.”. The next day…
or
“Dan said this.” The next day…
Which one is it??? I have gotten in trouble for the top one once, but usually I get away with it.
Besides those two grammatical difficulties, I can’t think of anything else at the moment that I struggle with. It usually happens while in the motion of writing.
Interdiscipinlinarity’s overall point is that training between disciplines is very deeply intertwined and does not work alone. I find that to be very true when thinking about what I have learned in high school and what I have learned in college. Both are somewhat dependent on each other and frequently draw on things I have learned and am learning now.
