I quite like my old post likening paper writing and grading to the tv talent competitions, and since it’s the time of year again for final papers, I thought I’d bring forward from it this fine piece of student satire:
Nothing like leveraging one set of bad behaviors against another, as Susurro also remarks about this one:

that is hilarious.

Btw, Dave Mazella has another good one up at The Long Eighteenth.
