So, I'm done with my digital signal processing homework, and the teacher wants us to use the IEEE paper format for our reports; that, of course, means writing them in English, and though I have no problems with that, this means those who still didn't took English 1 (that is, those who don't know English for s**t) will have to find someone who can translate their job. confused

But the worst part is the format we have to use to present our jobs. I had to go through the format guide for like 2 hours just to assimilate what I need to know! gonk We have to use a rigid, formal Yuki Nagato style, and I'm not very experienced with that because 99% of my written English is like the one you're reading right now. But that's not the worst part. These guys pretty much tell you the exact milimetric alignment of the table you're using and how it should be aligned according to its use, nature, and the alignment of Mars with respect to the largest star of the Pegasus constellation and the coordinates of the fight between Anti-Spiral and the Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. stressed

Example of the style I'm talkin' 'bout: It is mandatory that we use a formal writing style for our essays; nevertheless, I do not have enough of the required experience to write in such style, because most of the English I write is written in a colloquial, informal style.
