Legend: Student makes humorous guesses at answers on chemistry exam.

Origins: On our "Shortchanging the Subject" page we cite some legendary examples from students who, faced with essay exam questions they couldn't handle, chose to answer completely different questions instead.

1. Hey, I've done that.

Kinda throw it all against the wall and maybe some will stick?

[mike_c]

2. having just spent the last 10 hours or so grading exams...

...I am not amused. :mad:

[SmileyBoy]

5. Oh, come on. Lighten up!!!

We're college students. Give us a break!!! :7

6. my hand is cramping from writing all those F's....

Gotta get a rubber stamp....

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

7. What about...

"Sorry, I wasn't able to grade your exam because I'm not versed in the Chinese alphabet."

[mike_c]

11. they were numerous attempts to revive cuniform....

"No really, see-- this bit here-- that means what you said in class...."

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

13. Actually I meant

you'd need more letters to give a truthful grade letter, sice the Latin alphabet has only 26.

Bah. A joke explained loses all the fun. :eyes:

[mike_c]

14. oh

I'm a tough crowd to work today. bada-boom-TISS....

8. Doesn't it break the monotony?

To read those funny answers though?
Any creative answer should get at least partial credit.

[cheezus]

9. your job would be easier if you gave easier tests

then everyone would be happy!

[DrWeird]

3. Having graded many chemistry exams...

this ones pretty good. Most of the "humorous guesses" aren't that funny, just things like "a banana" or "false."

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

4. This is no Freeper

s/he has a sense of humor.

[ironflange]

10. Second that

Too clever to be freepers. Especially that last one.

[St. Jarvitude]

12. This is a college level course?

I've covered this stuff in Chemistry as a Sophmore in High School. This is easy shit.

OTOH, I did the same thing on a Lit test this year. There was a pop quiz on the final section of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and I hadn't read the section. Questions included "How does The Chief escaped?", which I subsequently answered with "He dug himself out with a spoon." Admittedly, not as funny as this guy's answers, but I got partial credit for creativity, despite the cliché-ness of it all.
