Meet Dr. Elisabeth Gruner, one of the University of Richmond’s English Professors. This is a teacher who thinks it is a waste of her time to teach Grammar. Instead of learning how to write, you should just rely on Grammarly, a Artificial Intelligence service that writes for you. Grades are oppressive and conventional metrics of success are not inclusive enough. Believe it or not, but it only gets worse from there. We will look at the “great intellectuals” who have influenced why Gruner teaches this way. With professors like this, is the University of Richmond really worth $83,000 a year?
