Over the course of the year, as an instructor, I present to you a variety of text for which my expectations are for you to complete the assignment in a timely and efficient manner. Studies by learned professors have shown when individuals initially glance at a piece of work, they actively choose to disregard the instructions and instead jump right into the questions. As much as one appreciates the zeal with which you pursue your academic success, one will find that as you proceed through academia, it is important to first ascertain what in fact your instructor desires. Please do not complete the last question in this paragraph or any of the remaining part of the assignment. By this point, eighty five percent of the standard population would have ignored the directions and immediately rushed to complete the assignment. For those of you who have continued to peruse this witty dialogue you will find that beneath my twenty five cent words, your history professor is actually masking the fact that this week you do not have to complete any problems of the week. Instead of completing these questions, I would greatly appreciate you assisting me in my sociology experiment. Because I am pleased with your continued patience in reading the entire directions, you will receive full credit if you simply complete the followin curriculum. In a nonchalant manner, approach me in the coming days and verbally give me one entity for which you are thankful. Also, please do not mention to other students the lack of actual problems of the week for this week. This assignment is due by NOVEMBER 30, 1999. Answer all the questions to the best of your ability. Please do not share your answers with anyone. I would like to see what you know on your own!!!
