Timeline for In the U.S., is it appropriate for math professors to ask students to rewrite their messy (poorly handwritten) homework to be graded?

| Sep 17, 2023 at 17:58 | comment | added | WoJ | I do not want to post an answer because the question is clearly marked US, but I cannot help to feel that the students today are completely cushioned. They will apply for a job and if what they send is handwritten and unreadable, nobody will ask them to resent the CV - it will go directly to the trash. I would prefer to get a 0 during a test and learn to write or type, than to discover that nobody is going to pamper me once I leave school. | |

For graduate classes I have required homework to be typed -- those students should be learning to use TeX or similar anyway. | |
