Where did you get this essay? (I hesitate to even use that term) How old and in what level is this student?

Christ, and you got 61% for that?

He actually got a non-failing grade?! :eek:

What's this world coming to?

I'd have given him a 20%. If that. Though I must say I knew a teacher in high school who would assign a D - - - - (that's D minus minus minus minus) when the student deserved an "F." He ought to have been sent back to kindergarten ala Billy Madison.

61%?

Wow, for some of the essays ive written i imagine that teacher would have to go above 100% if thats the standard for 60%

awesome

i do like this line though; "You must assume that accidently killing your father and marrying your mother is a disaster".

and the tubgirl reference

Thing is...hes pretty much summed up Oedipus Rex, and pointed out all the stupid parts. while being retarded.

That is a work of unparralelled genius! The different colored paper really adds some pizazz. The tribute to Dr. Dre worked for me. I seriously question this professor's professional judgment. Bravo, Mr. Freeman, bravo.

That's hilarious, but duh, it's not real. 1) He passed. 2) Why is a teacher who makes the comment "Page is to big" (sic) marking an English essay?

Though I loved the "Colour. -1" on the second page :p

No, I didn't write it. And I'm not the teacher, either.

Term papers take forever for a teacher to read through. I hear (from my father, who went to Georgetown U), that there was a teacher there know for throwing term papers down the stairs. The heavier they were, the farther they would fly. The farther they flew, the higher grade they would get. I guess the student that wrote this term paper figured his prof would never actually read it.

I'm sorry, but that is a parody. There is no way in the world that would even get marked, let alone get a mark. Forget it getting 61%; any lecturer given that would bin it. That's blatantly a piss-take.

Wouldn't surprise me ;)
But I know for a fact that there are teachers who don't read them too closely.
I teach in a University in China, and even just grading homework takes up enormous amounts of time. I don't know what I would do if I had to grade term papers. Give up sleep, say goodbye to my wife and lock myself in a room for the couple of weeks that I would have before grades were due?

ROFL
Every student (me anyway) wants to do a spoof essay/ spoof exam answers etc.
It's nice to see one.
