Copywriting on the Fly

What did Dartmouth mean to say?

July 21st, 2008 Dina at Wordfeeder.com

I’m doing some research on time management today for a project I have due this week. Some of the reference material I’ve chosen to document comes from Dartmouth College. They’ve conveniently included a sample Master Schedule on their website. Their schedule shows college students how to block out sections of time over the course of a day and devote those time blocks to specific activities, thus helping them to organize their days better.

So far, so good, Dartmouth. But I do have one question.

Anyone have any idea what the below sentence is supposed to say?

-Don’t let the extra study that you may find necessary interfere with your recreation hours take time from unscheduled hours.

Or is that two sentences?

Yes, even impressive American learning institutions need proofreaders.

    Wow, an ivy league school, no less. Just goes to show, even the smartest people should have proofreaders look over their work. It’s so easy to make silly mistakes.

    BTW, I love Dartmouth. It’s quite near where I live. Wish I could go there…
