ok, i actually am a TA for an economics class, and am marking their midterms. These are a couple answers I've seen on one guy's paper:

1. If everyone takes the price as a given in a price-taker model, who sets it?
A: The government. Them and their conspiracies...
(followed by a diagram of a guy being stalked by guys in fedoras, which i wish i could recreate)

2. Define "long-run" and "short-run." Can the "long-run" happen sooner than the "short-run?"
A: long run is pouring your heart into a relationship for 3 years of your life only to witness your soul devastated in the name of "having a good time."
Short run is living day to day and being unable to face people while you wait for your heart to mend itself, losing out on essentials such as class and labs."


I really want to give this guy an A!

Daniel

if he actually drew the guy in the fedora, you gotta give him the A.

it depends

state school he gets an A
private school ten points more than he earned

unless his girlfriend was a total hottie than he gets an A cuz you have to feel for him

This girl I talk to is a HS English teacher and reads some of the stuff she gets turned in. She should really save the good ones and publish a book. It's good stuff.

collegehumor.com posts a lot of tests that people send them where they answered insane things too.

There was a teacher who would put all the A papers up on a bulletin board. One kid never got an A, so his papers were never put up on the board and he was embarrassed because of it. So his mom sued. The judge ruled in favor of the school saying, "a little embarrassment can be a good thing sometimes."

I really hate this country sometimes.

My reaction exactly.

Curtis Gokey isn't the kind of guy to take any guff from anyone — not even himself.

Gokey is suing the city of Lodi, Calif., for damages because a dump truck backed into his car. The only problem is, Gokey, a Lodi city employee, was the guy driving the dump truck.

Even though he admitted that the fender bender was his fault, Gokey filed a $3,600 claim against the city for damage to his private vehicle, the Associated Press reports.

The city, noting that he was basically suing himself, shot the suit down.

But Gokey, obviously not one to be bothered by semantics, wasn't deterred. He and his wife, Rhonda, filed a new claim under her name — this time for $4,800.

Why the increase in the payout? Car got more valuable? Typo? Hardly.

"I'm not as nice as my husband is," she said.

wow. ^^^^ perfect use of the death penalty.

there was a good amount of space, and the drawing clearly shows a youngish guy looking over his shoulder at 2 guys wearing fedoras. pretty impressive actually.

he's still going to fail, but at least he's my new best friend

kinda doubt he'll agree with that statement if you fail him

This one is a foward, but it's hilarious, you can tell he knew enough about the play to half *** a decent paper instead he spent more time to get a D. I just wish I realized how useless high school is when I was there so I could of done stuff like this.

That whole first one sounds like what happened to my cousin in school this year.

He's pretty overweight, and his P.E. teacher has it out for him (of course, he's fat, and he's in a gym...don't they all?) He doesn't run as fast as everyone out...and she calls him out on this, in front of the entire class, screaming, "I know you can run faster than that...I've seen you on your way to lunch!"

True...but uncalled for. And of course, she got away with it, on the same grounds.

That's not the same thing at all. The same thing would be the P.E. teacher putting the best running times on a board and the fat kid never being on it. In this case, the P.E. teacher is just being mean, while the other teacher was being nice by praising those that did well.

that was awsome.

move to France





*or canada

The test must have been rigged.

I'm still laughing. Good stuff

The best part about this is that the teacher was trying to take him seriously throughout most of it.

can somebody post that one? my work has it blocked for some reason.

Oh ok, I saw that one last week. Thanks though.

Why the hell couldn't I go to it this time? ****ing.


haha, my friend and I laughed all weekend about the tubgirl thing when he told me what it was. All I could picture is some stuffy professor looking it up because "I know what the other two are, but whats this?"

That English paper is absoloutly hilarious.

LOL at the Oedipus paper. That is hilarious.

--RuffRidr

speaking of which, what the hell kind of teacher gives that paper a D? if that doesnt get an F then what does?

Here is a good English Paper...dannyg has probably already read it.

BTW, that Oedipus paper was one of the funniest things I have ever read. 61% for it was way too much but the entertainment factor deserved an A. I am laughing so hard I am almost crying.

Strong bad pwns email and life

Here is an answer I received on a test.

The question was related to an article we read regarding eating more plants (as opposed to meat) to help ease world hunger.

Basically the question asked them to relate the article to their own lives.

Direct quote:

"He relates it to use because if we loose are food we will go starving."

This is from a junior in high school. I count at least four huge errors in that one sentence.

Yes, the "use" is a misspelling of the word "us"

We're doomed.

That paper is the SH.IT...how the hell did he get a 61% though, unless its faked.

The works cited page is gold

one of the all-time great englilsh papers.

and yeah, the guy got a 31. sorry man.
i particularly like how the guy's blank page got a -13.

I just got done reading the college humor exam entries. Freaking hilarious

I am calling shenanigans (my first shenanigans!) on the Oedipus paper. No teacher would actually take the time to correct a paper on Oedipus which contains the phrase "****ing douche bag" in the second sentence.


edit: Or do I look like a jerk because everybody already knows it's fake?
