Shoot me…shoot me now!
This is the opening sentence of a student’s final paper I’m grading:
When evaluating the importance of environmental issues within the international community empirical happenings, especially within the United Nations hold clues as to how environmental issues are pegged.
Okay. After reading it over three times, I think I finally get what the student is trying to say. It’s 4:43PM right now. I will see how long it takes me to read/grade this paper.
[Update: It all went downhill from the first sentence on. I took two short breaks, and it’s 5:27PM now.]
