Perfect wake up call

MK tweeted this:

"Seriously what student can type 6 pages for one class after playing a basketball game and flying for 5hrs? #nottomentiontheother4classes"

Not sure if this is the right thread to post this, but I found it interesting and didn't want to create a new thread just for this.

Saw that, too. Not his first tweet complaining about school work. But usually 6 pagers are assigned well in advance.

Get the man a laptop. I just typed up 6 pages of report on the southwest flight to Ohare and back

Students vent on Twitter these days. You can't read much into it.

As a teacher, my first reaction is, when was the paper assigned? My students get all assignments at the beginning of the semester.

6 pages will get you a Masters degree and a PhD at UNC.

Sorry - couldn't help it...

As a procrastinator deluxe myself, regardless of when the assignment was made, I feel for MK.

Get him a speech to text program and a headset with mic

I feel for him as well. It is definitely a learning experience. His hashtag references the four other classes. I guess my initial question would be why is he taking five classes this semester? Seems like four would be plenty. Probably has something to do with progress towards a degree. Another learning experience I suppose. Got to keep up because once you fall behind things just tend to snowball from there. I know from being there myself.

Maybe he could start by putting the phone down?

[smusportspage]

Yes, that thought did cross my mind as well but it seems as though it does not with the younger generation. Phone/social media before anything else mentality.

I feel for him too, but if the assignment was made months ago, making the comment that all that is due the night before is not a legit excuse.

I still have a paper due from 1987.

Why isn't the LEC ghost writing this
