Yes, a conjunction would obviously work well, too. I suggested semicolon, because I figured it was the easiest way to maintain the same exact language without actually creating a new sentence. As to your point about "correct" being a fluid thing in English, I totally agree when we're talking about authors with style. A student doing a college exercise should, in my opinion, stick to the basic rules (however defined, MLA, etc). Gotta learn the rules before you can break them.
