CUE Guide forms need to be distributed on previously-specified days so that all students can take advantage of the forms. Nearly eighty-five ninety-sevenths of those who bother filling out the forms hail and applaud their professors and teaching fellows, bestowing fours and fives upon them with reckless abandon.

What is "merit" really? Could "merit" possibly be one of those terms your TF would applaud you for labeling--yikes, I shudder and clench my teeth to use the faddish descriptor--"socially-constructed...
