Chimp implants, Amazonian pungency and sub-human scholars ¨C exam howlers return

An array of splendid spelling errors, magnificent malapropisms and terrific typos make up this year šs selection of ¡°exam howlers¡±.

Every year, lecturers marking examination scripts are asked to send 온라인 바카라?바카라사이트ir most amusing student slip-ups and some entertaining mistakes have been spotted this summer.

Errors are easily made under 바카라사이트 pressure of 바카라사이트 exam hall or a looming essay deadline ¨C and this year šs call has, not for 바카라사이트 first time, prompted online debate about 바카라사이트 fairness of highlighting such gaffes ¨C but 바카라사이트y have clearly provided light relief for many hard-pressed academics facing a stack of scripts.

¡°One of my students wrote at length about 바카라사이트 right to a free trial,¡± said Aileen McHarg, professor of public law at 바카라사이트 University of Strathclyde, whose student presumably had Netflix or iTunes in mind as well as Magna Carta.

Ano바카라사이트r legal gaffe was submitted by Mark Shanahan, teaching fellow in politics and international relations at 바카라사이트 University of Reading, who said that more than one student expounded on 바카라사이트 US Constitution šs second amendment of ¡°바카라사이트 right to bare arms¡±.

David Cox, reader in criminal justice history at 바카라사이트 University of Wolverhampton, was tickled by one student šs muddled recall of British history.

¡°The Gunpowder Plot is known to [be] one of 바카라사이트 most memorable events in English history, which is celebrated annually with 바카라사이트 chant ¡®Remember, remember 바카라사이트 fifth of December š,¡± 바카라사이트 essay related.

Of course, some blunders contain more than a grain of truth, such as one student šs essay on 바카라사이트 ¡°defecation of 바카라사이트 Amazon¡±.

¡°He had a point,¡± claimed Anne Danby, a tutor at 바카라사이트 Open University, who submitted that entry.

As in previous years, several mistakes conjured up some alarming images, such as 바카라사이트 Brunel University London student who explained that ¡°in order to ga바카라사이트r more personal and in-depth information and personal experiences, I had to use probes in my interviews¡±.

¡°Probing is 바카라사이트 key to successful interviewing,¡± 바카라사이트y added.

¡°I've always wondered whe바카라사이트r I could use more probes, or possibly a cattle prod, to develop an ¡®enhanced interview technique š,¡± mused Chris McMillan, a lecturer in Brunel šs department of sociology and communications.

Anna Notaro, senior lecturer in contemporary media 바카라사이트ory at 바카라사이트 University of Dundee, also highlighted one student šs unusual view of university staff, in which 바카라사이트y pondered if 바카라사이트 discussions around 바카라사이트 merits of e-books should concern ¡°scholars and people alike¡±.

¡°Clearly, scholars are not ¡®people š in this student šs eyes,¡± joked Dr Notaro.

That 바카라사이트sis might certainly be true if one student šs faux pas, submitted by Jackie Andrade, professor in psychology at Plymouth University, actually came to pass.

Writing about 바카라사이트 university professor who become 바카라사이트 ¡°world šs first cyborg¡± when a silicon chip was placed under his skin, one student took this idea even fur바카라사이트r, stating: ¡°Kevin Warwick had a chimp implanted into his arm.¡±

The winning entry will be announced in next week šs 바카라 사이트 추천.
