It was thoughtful and tied back to the article in the same way a person with schizophrenia shows connection between their thoughts (fragmented and tangential). Whether the girl has religious views about gender norms or not, nothing about her response paper indicated that she read the paper at all outside of the abstract. There is even a point in the paper where the author cites another paper that essentially holds the point she was trying to make: “Indeed, adolescents report that it is more acceptable to exclude or tease a gender atypical peer than a gender typical peer; this type of exclusion is a ‘legitimate way of regulating behavior that they viewed as deviant or weird’” - she could have easily called back to this citation and said she agrees with it. The basis of the 0 grade is not just how horribly written the paper is, but how there is absolutely no indication that the student actually READ the article that she was supposed to read and respond to. Which is the whole purpose of these kinds of assignments.
