Response to Limerick and Rubin

I feel that boy Limerick and Rubin touched on the fact that the communication between students and professors is not always clear and effective as it should be. Rubin took the point of view of the student by interpreting incomprehensible syllabi from the professors and Limerick took the professor's point of view as to why academic writing can act almost as "protection" for "sensitive" academic writers. I feel Limerick used really great examples in their piece about how professors and academic writers use "large, dull" sentences in order to almost prove themselves capable, thus such complicated sentences and concepts are unable to be deciphered by the student.

From a student's point of view, I definitely agree with Limerick. I feel as if she articulated the problem with communication among students and professors extremely well with her examples. In order for a student to get the most out of their education, they need to understand what is being taught, and how to apply that correctly to their education, in essence, "learning to fly."
