In my IA class we had an assignment, similar to the one I recieved in Mr. Englebart’s class in 9th grade. We were given a blank map. For homework we had to fill in the countries. We have a book for class called “The Student Atlas of World Politics” IN this book there are maps of Europe and Asia (the two continents we had to label). When I got my map back my professor said “Good job, you got an A” and I asked “Didn’t everybody?” She told me that a bunch of people got ‘F’s”
How.
How can people get an F on what is basically a copying assignment?
If you are stupid enough to fail that assignment than you deserve to fail. Instead, however, we are having a ‘do over’
Yes. A do over.

Okay, so how does the story end? Does your college reach up a giant arm to the front of its largest building, pulls down a gigantic zipper, and inside it turns out to actually be a clown college or something?

Then End of the Story
We had a map quiz on all of europe and all of asia that required us to fill in 10 countries that were written on the board.
Such as:
Iceland (the only major European island in the N. Atlantic)
Russia (that giant land mass in Asia that couldn’t be anything else!!)
Poland (the one thats not germany)
Sweden & Finland (NorwaySwedenFinland)
Italy (no, not that one, the OTHEr country shaped like a boot)
