Should we use red pen in any situation (1 Viewer)

[Doogsy]

Is it acceptable to use red pen in any situation, eg in drawing tables?

i use red in maths to draw axes. no one has said anythin bout it. there shouldnt b a problem if it increases clarity

 

[bloodysunday]

well i think that if you're drawing any graphs or whatnot they tend to like you using pencil better, well at least the teachers did in the trials and such. plus i think that if you look at the general instructions it doesnt say nething about red pens. but hey, if it's legible i guess its ok.

Yes, markers do not write on your paper.
Use red to highlite key words and underline final answers etc.

our teacher said not to use pencil cause most marking is done at night and pencil is verrryy hard to read under low/artificial light (she is also a marker)

that sounds logical. red for highlitin. pencil for actual graphs, axes in red are ok

 

[Doogsy]

well thats good then

its funny though, some people bring in like 5 million pens of all colours into english exams, and there i am with just 2 black pens and a white out marker, and i dont even use that. do more pens make you feel better? or are they really gonna write that much?

 

[Doogsy]

i had 3 pens run out in my english trial :s so i bring 5 now just in case, but u dont need white out (they apparently hate it, and you can still gain marks for crossed out work)
but people brought like 2 pencils and rubbers and highlighters into english, i thought that was overkill

 

[bloodysunday]

ah fair enough, yeah like i said i dont use the whiteout anyway, its just there for moral support as if i had enough time to use it anyway

 

[utopia_parkway]

lots of pens makes me feel better

You can see that they don't write on your paper by looking at the sample answers in the standards packages.

i like to use diff colours in physics especially and red comes in handy, lucky some1 brought that up cos i was wondering the same thing

i guess im a small writer then... ah well, i go for quality not quantity... though my quality isnt often that fab, specially when it comes to english and ancient hist *gulp*
