Academic editing

Writer: Amanda RiddellAmanda Riddell

Yes, that's what I did during 2021, which is why that EP has a student rock vibe, but I wasn't studying; I was just getting paid to review essays from students from universities across Australasia (and some from the UK and Canada). It improved my punctuation, but eventually it became tiresome; the news is always different, while every essay is the same after you've read a thousand or so.

VUW and Massey were conspicuously absent, but I used to read essays from AUT, Uni of Waikato and most of the polytechs. 🔥 I'm not anti-Massey, though; I think all the universities are equally stupid. Until a government gets stuck into making tertiary education completely free, it's a moot point whether they're centres of knowledge of centres or authority (I'd plump for the latter being the current state).

Yes, I'm aware that free-market people would counter by saying 'money democratises knowledge, and a subsidised system would be the true centre of authority' -- I disagree: if education is equally avaliable from the outset, and - yes, I've noticed that the left stole this one from George W. - no child is truly left behind (🤣), then every student from every socioeconomic background would have the opportunity to pursue their passions to the level that they desire. 👍
