Emoticons

I am still working on getting my 100% teaching certificate. As part of my work, I have to do internship projects throughout the teaching year and turn them into my Alternative Certification Program.

I am about to write up my first assignment. I was a little nervous about how tough they were going to grade my work, so I started reading their help section.

This is one part of it.

I have to agree that sometimes online -in chats- it may be difficult to express emotion.

I was an international relations major and you don't use emoticons in professional writing. (and basically anyone who went to college or high school can attest to this.)

So the point? I guess they won't be taking it that seriously. I'll let you know.
