I would have laughed, made a copy, and given the original back telling them, while funny, I can't accept it for credit.

How about failing this student?

I think impregnate is the correct verb there

rape would also work.

Looney toons? Does he mean Sylvester and tweety?
2074red2074
Tunes, not toons.
AzraelEternity
It's likely fake. There was a fair few people picking it apart on Twitter. Like what professor grades papers same day? Why correct it [1/2]
AzraelEternity
at all if it was so completely removed from the plot? Corrected so many intentional mistakes but misses the "is" between "but" and "instead"

Can someone make the great gatsby gif of Leo DiCaprio but it’s Tom’s face instead?
WhyCantIBeFunny
But Leo didn’t play Tom... he was GATSBY
OobedoobScoobyDoobyBenubi
You’re probably right, I’ve never read/seen the book/movie
WhyCantIBeFunny
Ah, makes sense. In that case, the champagne toasting Leo meme is Gatsby, but would’ve been funny if the Tom face swap worked out

One time Tom thought he shot Jerry and tried to provide medical aid. Out of concern he actually hurt him.
thegonzoesquire
Only a bit better and he is well on his way to an English degree
shinyRK9
I love the fact that not only did the Prof still grade and comment the essay, but gave it a passing grade

i think a D is being a little generous

Teach this kid to spell and he’ll write the next great American novel!! Better yet, just get him a good editor like Fitzgerald had and voila

Tom and Jerry were part of the Hannah Barbera 'universe' -- not Looney Tunes.
BounceBoogynBump
They were merry melodies first way before Hannah Barbera was a thing
2muchbaconsaidno1ever
T&J 1st aired in 1940 w/ MGM by HB. Merrie Melodies began in 1931 w/ Warner Brothers. T&J were never part of the Merrie Melodies system
juststopandthink
He is contrasting Tom & Jerry (HB) with all the Loony Toons. Motivation is clear with LT. Not so with HB.

1) Try to stop violating FERPA. 2) Just wait. It gets continuously more odd.
Awmph
It'll be internet cute till someone loses their job and their shirt to some pissed student — some pre-law undregrad.
TakeAFannyGallop
How does this violate FERPA?
Byrhtnoth
If it's anonymized, it doesn't. This asshat doesn't know what he's talking about. Ethically questionable? Debatable. A violation? Nope.
DirtyJeansDunderJeep
I've served on two department committees surrounding FERPA violations and have extensive training. This asshat does know what he's talking
Byrhtnoth
FERPA only prohibits the disclosure of personally identifiable information derived from educational records - i.e. not anonymized work.
DirtyJeansDunderJeep
Again, there's nothing in FERPA about anonymized work. 2) It does protect against unauthorized publication (see this post) should the

About. Also, anonymized is a term used for data. It's more likely an IRB concern. You've outed yourself as someone who doesn't know &cetera.
DirtyJeansDunderJeep
It's a student's grade and work. I'll bet it's in the turnitin respository too. Meh. It's probably nothing to worry about. But in general
DirtyJeansDunderJeep
Don't post student work.
DirtyJeansDunderJeep
Typically, or rather exclusively so far, FERPA violations are handled by the uni. A first time offense is likely to be a talkin' to by your
DirtyJeansDunderJeep
department head, especially since you're new. IF the student complains. Still, not a good look while working your way through grad school.
rodrigosanchez
Great Gatsby is a shit book. I've read it. Even watched the shitty movies. Still, shit.
nickgreyden
I concur
PsychicOctopus
I'm a fan mostly because the narrator is hella gay for Jay Gatsby and that's amazing
witebuddha
I liked it.

Warner Bros cartoons started as cinema, 'cinematic universe' is used for the Marvel movies. Seems appropriate for Looney Tunes

Advice from a fellow college professor, never spend more time writing feedback than what the student put into the assignment.
1971Nemo
A grade of "D" is because the current state of education means all students pass unless the teacher wants trouble from administrators.
minipancho94
nah, its because he actually wrote an essay and met more of the rubric requirements than the majority of the class despite the wrong topic.
icanpickanyusernameiwant
I could be wrong but shouldn’t there be commas in “unclear what if anything ...”? The English teacher corrected everything but grammar?!
irrelevant18
RuffleMyFluffles
It could be them paying others to write the assignment/essay, and just gave poor instructions.

There were a few episodes he tried to eat him, others he was threatened to be kicked out of the house if he didn't catch Jerry.

Garfield (2004) was a 3D animated thing so I guess Garfield isn't strictly a comic character.
WinoCrimesand69s
Originated as one though. But then do you see cartoon and comic as synonyms
Mxlespxles
Pepperidge Farm remembers when they were
subzero600
Garfield and friends, 1988-1994. Saturday morning cartoon.
DoesItThough
Loved watching it!

Not the Midnight Society.
mostcatscantdrive
I've also heard most can't drive either!
flarflarf
was heathcliff a comic or a cartoon, and is there a difference?
kungfufil
Cartoons are animated, comics are not.
footfucker
Yes
kungfufil
Garfield was originally a comic, not a cartoon.
eyekunt
Colopty
Clearly this English teacher is ignorant of the classics.
Givemeabreak432
Cartoon doesn't mean animated. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartoon
kungfufil
I guess it depends which crowd you are talking to. To me comic is the still form while cartoon is the animated one.
DoktorWyvern
Cool. But you're wrong.

DeviatedPrevert
i guess I don't see how this gets a "D" ... he completely failed
JeffGriffin
D- I'd give you an F but that would just mean I'd have to see you next year.
WuProgress
Maybe "D" is for disgrace on your family?
NZSheeps
And Disgrace on your cow
FreeBaseBuzz
Seems to me it was a failure on the professors part. Not being specific in the original question...
TheRealAethrys
Points for mentioning social class? Hard to say, we're missing most of the paper.
FeChefImgur
Possibly because the student might have realised it was referring to the book if they had paid any attention in class or read the book ?
Camelspotting
Pretty sure they knew that.
Biggerbluer
Might depend on the institution. D is probably a failing grade, but some credit for turning it in.
flarflarf
Depends on the paper. Maybe it was convincing and well-written, just completely off-topic.
flarflarf
anyway there's a bunch of grumpy commenters in here who need to maybe have a drink or two and lighten the fuck up.
anninamillyun24
Yeah, he may have a talent for entertaining with Farce.
PickleMorty
Well written? Look at the amount of errors in the first paragraph. 3 or 4 content errors right away lol
DeviatedPrevert
it was bad enough that the guy shamed a kid on twitter
NHLawGuy
I'm pretty sure it's not a"kid" given the instructor's title is professor
DeviatedPrevert
read the title
flarflarf
I'm not really sure if this is shaming, esp based on twitters reaction to it.
DeviatedPrevert
who gives a shit what the mob thinks?
Camelspotting
Everyone who posts something on social media.
flarflarf
if you "shame" someone and everyone thinks that they're actually great, have you really shamed anyone? No, you have not.
FloresDelCaribe
Mostly to humor the kid. Honestly the writing and where they were going was pretty solid so D for effort this time maybe not next time
anninamillyun24
Let him know you are looking next time for him to channel that more relevantly toward what was asked for.
Brucecori2
Idgi either. Its too hard to believe this student actually thought they were supposed to be writing about a cartoon character-Too purposeful
anninamillyun24
Maybe he'd rather work on something that interests him.

In my book, if it meets the length requirement, is somewhat coherent, has your name, and is turned in on time that's worth a D-

RXJ235231
He shouldn't get a pass, and you're encouraging abysmal performance.
alsowhatsaderp
Or! The rest of the rest of the essay makes an excellent argument that ends up on hitting on the themes discussed in class. We shouldn’t /1
alsowhatsaderp
Always penalize outside the box thinking /2
Knilore
Government funding is encouraging abysmal standards. You're easily above average if you lower the average.
DemSumBigAssRidges
As my professors used to say, "I can't give you partial credit if you don't turn anything in." They turned something in, so...
shadefang
40% is partial credit, and an F
DemSumBigAssRidges
Better than a 0...

I once got 12 out of 20 points on a Spanish essay exam for writing "No hablo español."
ShaydeLiger
You probably would have gotten more points if you would have said "No escribo español."
PileOfWalthers
Spelling is alright.
DeviatedPrevert
If you go to a surgeon and he gives you the wrong operation, are you going to think he did a good job if the stitches look nice?
PileOfWalthers
No, but that doesn't have anything to do with getting partial credit as a student.
DeviatedPrevert
A "D" is like saying you did 60% of the work correctly ... do you think spelling is worth 60% when we have auto-correct on all computers?
PileOfWalthers
Look peasant, are you looking for somebody to argue about stupid shit with? Because I don't give a shit. Go F yourself!
Amwaysalesdept
College now is "turn anything in and get a D". Liberal arts have become such a fucking joke.
DeviatedPrevert
easy, big fella
HereForTheSurpriseMeat
I went to an engineering school and got an engineering degree. I also had to write English papers. It’s not all “liberal arts”
Amwaysalesdept
English is a liberal art. Guess they don't teach that in engineering school.
HereForTheSurpriseMeat
No, they teach important stuff like how to properly communicate with your peers and coworkers since engineers typically lack in that dept
Amwaysalesdept
You must work with some real shit engineers.
RXJ235231
Don't you mean a language art?
Amwaysalesdept
No, are you retarded? Google liberal arts and learn something. Society needs you to not be stupid.
TakeAFannyGallop
Some assignments have marks for grammar and essay format.
eppykaze
True, but with that many edits while being off topic it should have been an automatic fail. Must be somewhere that no child is left behind.
END3RW1GGIN
Or we're only seeing the intro to the essay. Usually the part written last and has the least amount of time spent editing it.
Camelspotting
D is a fail.
onlyhalfghost
Not in Canada or to my knowledge the USA, at least in high school.
iMuteMorons
Yeah, but his grammar is ass.

D means greater than 60% correct

magicrhombus
Grade inflation.
EroticZombiePants
Because giving an "F" may require him dealing with the student again next semester.

bendurrodriguez
If I were a teacher I would totally give a student a pass so someone else would have to deal with them.
MagiicHat
Like most teachers
anninamillyun24
Thank Goodness you're not!
tareatingrat
No, it's usually administration that tells us to pass them, so *they* don't have to deal with the shitty parents.
tareatingrat
I've never met a teacher that wants to pass a kid who didn't/couldn't do the work. Admin moves them on, anyway.
tareatingrat
I don't even blame admin, though. Nobody wants the "stupid" kid. But the kids aren't stupid, they just need more time. System sucks.
phocalpoint
Or worse yet, angry parents whose little treasure could not possibly fail

Oh my gosh. I like that the teacher didn't even TRY to edit it, just wrote "Pete, please see me" at the bottom.

Why would you edit perfection? The teacher was probably going to pass the student on the spot.
glitchead
Honestly I dont know why this just made me sad.
