"Welcome," the professor says, briskly, tapping a stack of papers on her desk. "I'm glad you've finally arrived, since your assignment is due soon. I hope you were paying attention to the material, since I'm expecting a paper on the topic of its meaning."
[ she's marking up other essays (double-spaced, typed). there is very liberal use of red pen going on here and scribbles like "cite your sources" and "this is an assumption." ]
- "Vampires are Bad" (20/100, "too facile") - "Have You Considered Being Nicer" (0/100, "no") - "There Is No Such Thing As A Monster" (5/100, "please provide definitions") - "Vampires Seem Really Cool" (0/100, "I hate you personally")
Also, at some point after some of those kids have wandered off and you're still chatting, there's a distant but loud screech of metal, and a huge noise like something heavy crashing into a roof.
"Hm—oh, that? It sounded like it came from... maybe the writing lounge or the computer center? I have a lot of grading to do, but perhaps you can find someone to help with whatever it was."
She doesn't seem hugely perturbed, possibly because she's gotten very into eviscerating the grade of whoever thought vampires were really cool.
Well, anything with appropriate citation format. All the materials here are valid sources, of course; if you have additional primary sources from field research I'll also accept those.
"MLA format if you can, please. There's a sheet on how to do it in the writing center, but I won't take off that many points if it's not quite right. I'm more interested in the content."

[A pause. Then:]
Has anyone ever scored above a 50%?
Re: TALK TO THE PROFESSOR
She laughs. "Though I can't say the submissions too far have been terribly good. So give me something to look forward to, Lumen."
Re: TALK TO THE PROFESSOR
I'll see what I can do.
