Yahoo Answers. If You Can't Ask Your Proffie, There's Always Someone To Help.

Why is my professor always telling us that we need to have this immigration reform and legalize illegals?

Is he right? It's for my politics class I'm taking this semester and he always tells us that we need to pass something called "Kennedy-McCain Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2011". Apparently this reform would give documents to all 20 million illegals and turn them into citizens. Sort of as a reward for having come here illegally. He gives us a lot of material to read about that. I seem to be the only one in class who is critical of that, but I also don't want to risk a bad grade because we have to write papers on that. Is he even right?

  1. Oh God, often when a student says something half-insane in class, I ask, "Where did you find that?" They usually reply, "Oh, it's on the internet."

    Well of course it is. There's trillions of kilobytes of insane things "on the internet." I guess Yahoo Answers and various Dickheadpedias have enough faulty information to fill trillions of student essays.

  2. I don't like the new design of the page. It's not quite desperate enough.

  3. But, Darla, it IS on the Internet. It's true.

    I have a tiny assignment I do where we evaluate online sources. I have some real whackjob opinions on beautifully designed pages, and some normal and correct ideas or statements on poorly designed sites.

    Which ones do you think students favor? All the time!

  4. Answer provided by ... Fork.

    I wouldn't accept it unless/until data from spoon and knife were included as well!

  5. Sorry, everybody but that was the most popular answer. The voters have spoken. This is what democracy looks like.

  7. To be fair, usually the most humorous answers win on Yahoo Answers. So it's possible that they just thought that was funniest? That is what I choose to believe, anyway.

  8. I don't know if anyone will see the connection between this and what Cal said, but it's meant as a tangent and not a non sequitur.

    I experimented with exam format and what results with the least whining is: Choose a font from the '80's, like Courier. Transfer to PDF. Print, xerox, xerox the xerox, xerox the xerox of the xerox.. until a certain amount of ink speckle results (you'll know it when you see it). If you have time, cut parts out and xerox a few questions not perfectly square with one another, and put some visible white out and/or scotch tape marks somewhere.

    My hypothesis as to the mechanism of this cutting down the whining is that they think some old man wrote and made a secretary produce, with a type writer. So it's a "real" test and not just something you whipped up to be a bitch.
