You have to know the rules, why they exist, and what breaking them implies.
If you are in a class designed to teach the rules, it doesn’t even matter if you already did all 3 steps. You’ll fail the class because the class is testing if you CAN follow the rules.
But I signed up for a writing class not a following the rules class. Basically all classes are follow the rules classes if we are going to look at it like that
I guarantee your writing class has a syllabus. The problem here is a disconnect between what you think the syllabus says and what it actually says (this may not be your fault- a lot of teachers are notoriously shit at communicating the purpose of the syllabus).
