Funniest essay ever. And check out the grade he got at the end.
(It's scanned JPGs and is really slow to load, but funny as hell. I'm tempted to mirror it here instead. Also there is an abundance of foul language)
He passed... wow.
I need to change majors to whatever that guy is. At least engineering pretends to have standards.
Posted by: mikeh at January 13, 2005 10:13 AMI would have asked if there's a grade below "F".
D-
Riiiiiight.

"Page is to big"
"Please see after class"
Hoo-boy...
Posted by: tkdkerry at January 13, 2005 12:42 PMThe farther I get in my engineering studies, the less I trust the commonly used technology. I'm a Luddite electrical engineer. Go figure.
Posted by: mikeh at January 13, 2005 9:15 PMheh, its people like you that drove my dad crazy. He was a Boeing mod-mechanic who had to basically rebuild new aircraft for mil-use. Stuff on paper doesn't always work in reality. :D
Posted by: Rhett at January 14, 2005 4:22 PMThat is some outrageous stuff. LMAO. He has no favorites among the usual suspects of political correction, that's for sure. I give the instructor credit for appreciating a little creativity and giving him a 61. But I fear that creativity might not have been the reason and instead this is accepted work at our universities. Gotta love the multiple ways the writer disses the thesis instructions that the grader is working off of.
