Can you explain this grade? Yes, yes I can

No shit, what is it about students at UMass-Amherst that they can take a bong wrip, start attaching words together at random, eventually come to a thought around two and half pages in, finish at three, not spell check, print something out on a printer that's running out of ink that only bears passing resemblance to the assignment you've given them (and may very well be a poorly written paper for some other class), hand it in without supporting materials, and still get mad at you for not giving them a passing grade. I had two of these yahoos waiting for me after class demanding that I explain myself.

Let me try...don't drink and write a paper for my class. Every paper you write should take LONGER than five minutes. There's a bunch of stuff I sometimes ask you to do called homework, do that! Spell fucking check!

In other news, I have a lurker who has emerged. Yeah!!! Welcome Nacho, Hertzliche wilkommen! I say this because as some of my usual readers know, most of the people who show up on my blog who I don't know are not always very nice. Anyways, glad to have you around.
