Emergent Gameplay

One of my professors just sent me a sweet message saying how great my essay grades have been recently and to keep up the hard work. I don’t want to be a jerk after such a kind note, but a couple weeks ago, I noticed she was grading our essays on the quality of citations. Since that realization, I’ve started including one more citation than the assignment requirements, stopped stressing about organization and clarity, and started getting 100s and 99s on everything I turn in.
