Writing Styles
I thought it was really interesting talking about changing out writing style and even views when it comes to our professors or whoever is grading our papers. I have in the past written accoring to how I think a teacher might want to see my paper written. I remember in high school I had to give a debate against the use of stem cells, knowing that my teacher is pro-stem cell research. Knowing this, I actually brought up the other viewpoints way more than I would have, because I wanted to show him I understood his personal views. I was frustrated doing this, but at the same time I thought it was a good learning experience because I would not have researched the other point of view if Idid not feel I had to in order to get a better grade. My question is, is it always a bad thing to change how you might do something to satisfy a teacher or professor?

it's not necessarily. technically you're writing for the grade. while it may not be your own voice, per se, you're at least getting something beneficial out of it, assuming you get the good grade. really, it's up to interpretation and the circumstances.
see you would modify your stance on something for a grade?
Is that really what University is about?
