Why would you think that...

[Churchill]

Can't you whip the little feckers, or am I mixing my age groups and teaching era?

What Uni you at?!

Come on!!

No names no pack drill.

Allow the guy some anonymity. It's bad enough being a giant alien lizard!

I'll accept geographical region! I'm worried he's the git who once accused me of copying my knowledge based systems assignment off Mike Clarke

[Churchill]

It seems slightly unlikely... I doubt we've met...

You never know, he might still bare the scars - literally!

let's see what treats Monday brings...

Well in the 30 secs between leaving the lab without achieving anything and the datestamp on the disk he handed in, he managed to generate a complete working solution... all neatly printed out & bound.

Just shows how clever students can be...

I'm certain it's all his own work...

zeitghost,

please be lenient with this person,
you have to try to understand, chasing girls and drinking beer does not leave a lot of time for completing assignments and therefore some creativity has to be used. It's not an easy balance, enjoying a healthy student life and completing a degree.

Milan.

[Ardesco]

Nope.

He's failed it.

Although I didn't mark it.

The trouble is, it means he'll be back next year...

Sounds pretty lenient to me, I've have kicked the fecker off the course for plaguism

[Ardesco]

Sorry fingers aren't working that well today, but would serve them right for trying to cheat.

cant do that. Need the funding.

In fact, we are astoundingly lucky these guys don't set up traffic lights as a job, or we'd all be dead... they have no concept that both directions should pause on red before one direction goes to green.

I'm sorry, but this does happen in Real Life (tm). It's the equivalent of TFL's journey planner telling you to change tube lines at King's X in 0 minutes (which they do). My partner often rails against overpaid IT people/web site designers who get paid for coming out with such crap. I sometimes try to refine her job spec categorisations but I wholeheartedly agree that hanging is too good for some of them, it's a good kick in the arse they need.

People like that, in our trade, are the reason that we are valued so low in public estimation (step outside fora like this and watch the respect melt away); and ultimately the reason why people think that outsourcing our jobs to India would be a good idea.
