OK, I just made that up. But it really is perfect for what I mean.
I have been working from some of the most confusing instructions I've ever seen on some of my assignments. It's just crazy - it's not enough to use tiny fonts and hand out bad copies, but the 16 things you have to do are buried in seven paragraphs of blah blah blah.
Some of my grades were lower than they could have been just because I missed something, so I've started highlighting each step AND writing a number out in the margin. Then when I THINK I'm done - or even better, after the first draft or even the outline if I go that far - I do my check-back.
See? Perfect term. It might raise my overall grade by five points this semester.
