Considering I graded a TON of research papers in the last week, I wish I had more to post. But most of them made me want to cry, not laugh. There was very little laughing involved and few, if any, malapropisms. Mostly just shocking failures of logic.
Ah, well. I’m grading community college papers today and this weekend, so they may have some gems for me. Like this wise observation:
“College and high school may trick you into thinking they are very similar. Yes, in both you would think that you want to do the best you can, but sometimes as teens, people tend to be teens. That is where the differences come in to play.”
(I would weep for our future if I thought this student had put even a little bit of effort into this paper!)
Wish me luck!
