You can't do essays with joined up writing....? Or is cursive more than that?
No essays must be written in print. Not cursive and that's just standard across academia.
It's really weird they bring it up, because they teach you how to write in a way that they don't actually want you to write. In the past I suppose you were expected to write like that if you were doing anything formal (letters to the bank manager) but since no one does that anymore it's a bit of a moot point.
Academia in the USA I guess, the rest of the world are incredulous.
If it's legible then it's fine in the UK, you get taught the "traditional" ways for joining words around age 8 or 9 (from memory, that might be wrong nowadays) but nobody gets punished for doing it wrong if the word is easy to make out, and many do use the "wrong" techniques.
In my opinion you should have a couple lessons practising joining letters, then just do whatever you feel like and most will join for speed, if it can't be read it gets badly marked but that's true already obviously.
USA, tis a nutty place sometimes...
If you're writing research papers, obviously you don't really write them anymore you type them, but back when you did write them, that was the requirement, printed not cursive and yeah that was the requirement in the UK as well It was an international standard.
Academia at that level sure, it was never a requirement for my GCSE coursework 20odd yrs ago though.
And the reality is that formal research papers have been typed as long as typewriters existed, before the curriculum was even set.
Nope, it.won't be accepted unless your teacher was very old. You either handwrite in print or for the most part these days submit a printed out or digitally submitted copy
Mad.
