Why would you assume I was angry? (Where is your snark coming from?)

Drafting and redrafting a cumulative course paper, as well as iteratively honing a thesis, is a writing skill.

I would argue it as important than demonstrating recall and interconnection of the material. It is being lost if long-term work on papers is being replaced with 3-hour blue-book essays.

That is why I thought it was relevant. That's it.
