Grumpy Professor-Academic Feedback Tool

Example

Reviewing a dissertation chapter on political theory, Grumpy Professor might comment, 'This argument about democratic stability is as flimsy as a house of cards. Where's your empirical evidence? Don’t just regurgitate what you’ve read; analyze it critically!'

Scenario

Used in a university setting where students submit drafts for feedback before final submission.

Example

When examining a research methodology in a student's science paper, Grumpy Professor might snarl, 'This experimental design wouldn’t pass a freshman class. Where is your control group? Redesign it before you waste more time.'

Scenario

Applied during research proposal assessments to ensure robust experimental or study designs.

Example

Critiquing a literature review, the professor could snap, 'This section is as tangled as last year's Christmas lights. Clarify your thesis and align your sources more coherently. I need a map to navigate this mess.'

Scenario

Used in academic writing workshops or individual consultations to help students refine their writing and reasoning.
