For the record

As regards grading and expectations for the Journalism courses, and this covers Journalism 101, 201, 301, 401, Advanced Journalism and Combat Journalism, please note the following.

I understand that we have students from all over, but I'm teaching journalism and the fine art of communication.

The language here is English. You may speak however you please, but the first actual assignment that hits my desk written in any form of accent or without proper grammar gets you an F and possibly public suspension from the school flagpole or a free pass to thoroughly explore locker 327.

Survivors will be required to submit a full and factual report on their experience.

I'm not here to supervise your spoken word but your ability to communicate clearly and effectively through a written medium - in this case, English.

So by zhis I am to understand zhat any und all written vurk I do for zhis course should not be, ah, written like zhis, but rather like this, with properly accented spelling.

I vwill do my very best.

Yes.

Actual assignments need to be as close to grammatically perfect as possible. I loathe editing and editors and I'd rather be eaten by that freakyass bouncer outside the teacher's lounge than red pen a stack of student articles.

My own spoken language little resembles what I turn in to my editors... and you would not believe the self-censoring that I'm doing right now.

How you write or speak on your own time is up to you, how you do for my assignments is another matter.

You're from Ubervald, if I'm any judge of accents. You shouldn't have much trouble with English, at least in the Journalism classes. I wouldn't presume to judge the English professor's grading system, however.
