Tricksy Professor

So one of my professors gave us a take-home final, and there was much rejoicing. But it was a trick! It is supposed to be 12 pages long. TWELVE PAGES. You do not give us a 12-page paper for a final. It is just not done.

For example, my other take-home final can only be a maximum of 1000 words (about 4 pages). This is near standard...professors don't want to be stuck grading ginormous treatises at the end of the semester. They only have so long to turn in grades.

But the 12-page professor has a grad-student grader who will be stuck grading the papers (even though she has her own finals to take). And the class is over 100 students. It's like he's evil or something. Yet borderline attractive.

Twelve pages. Bah.
