Font effect in academic environment

January 12th, 2008 * Comments(0)

Phil Renaud of Fadtastic posted an interesting anectode regarding the effect different fonts had on his essay grades.

Total Times New Roman styled essays: 11
Average Grade: A-

Total Trebuchet MS styled essays: 18
Average Grade: B-

Total Georgia styled essays: 23
Average Grade: A

The only thing I know for certain, is that I’d give a negative grade to any paper set in Comic Sans. Wouldn’t even bother reading it.
