Student Shocked Midterm Project More Than One Night of Work
In a shocking revelation to the students of Professor Robert Sloth’s 300 level class, the midterm project he first assigned in January could not, in fact, be completed the night before. The thrown-together projects presented this Monday made it clear that all 40 students had put off the assignment until right before the due date.
“I can’t believe the professor was actually right,” said Hilda Chavez, a junior who has completed at least four such projects during her time at Texas A&M University. “But if he knew it would take so long to complete, why didn’t he warn us how much work it would be in advance?”
Sloth was reportedly unsurprised, as this happens every semester. Since first announcing the project during syllabus week, he made it a point to emphasize the project would be no easy feat and impossible to complete if started at the last minute.
“I know students love to procrastinate, so I reminded them every class this project was a lot of work,” Sloth said. “They just never listened.”
Frequent email reminders and lecture recordings corroborated the professor’s claims. Despite the project’s toll on his students’ grades, he told The Mugdown he is not expecting different results when the final semester projects come around in May.
—Midnight Smell
From the depths of the steam tunnels, cartoonishly green scent waves begin to emanate. They wrap around the live oaks, the leaves turning brown and dropping dead with a faint wail. Wait, it looks like someone’s coming out of the tunnel… oh holy shit. It’s your freshman engineering lab partner, and he still hasn’t showered! You try to run, but it’s too late. The cartoon scent waves grab your ankles and drag you screaming into the steam tunnels. Midnight Smell has struck again.
