I completely ignored an assigned essay topic because it annoyed me - wrote 2 papers, instead . . . one explaining my purpose and reason for ignoring her assignment and the other was my substitute assignment in it's place.
She gave me an F
:rofl
Everyone's done at least one school project that was like nails on a chalkboard!
Discuss. . .
My only one I've done aside from essays is my current project for art: a newsprint portfolio. 25 newsprint articles on something art-related - all cut nicely, commented on, attached neatly to sheets and placed into a notebook - presentation counts, lots of particular rules to follow, papers to write to include as well.
Literally THE WORST medium to work with. I've had to *not* use certain good articles because they've ripped while I've been carefully cataloging and analyzing them.
ARG! and finding art articles isn't the easiest thing in the world - though Iv'e had help from family who are kind enough to send me things they find.
So ridiculous -I swear I can't wait to be done with this tedious and sensitive thing.

500 index cards summarizing 500 childrens' books with 500 words per card. The most miserable summer I've ever spent. The librarians were ready to set up a cot and let me just sleep over. The final exam was 500 multiple choice questions about "The Wind in the Willows"! I never wanted to murder anyone so badly ever.

Good grief. When was this?
This is one of those prereq. courses of children's literature for an MS in Education. For reals.

Heh. What was the assigned essay and what did you write in place of it?
Good Lord. I had to read 50 chapter books and 50 picture books for one of my M.Ed classes, but 500 is just ridiculous.
Not trying to be a jerk but what the hell does that accomplish?
It seems like an incredible waste of time and for a masters course no less.
I was suppose to identify and write about a story which concerned the developmental mindset of a young girl - who didn't want to grow up.
She had certain things we had to discuss in it: acceptance of 'the passage to womanhood' and so on - and I just didn't like it . . . took my F with a smile - still earned an A in the course.
Hm....I think that sounds interesting.
What did you write instead?
