Paper

This was given to me by a group member to turn in the next day. This is for an economics project in a junior/senior level class. Enjoy...

P.S. Yes that is what he named the file also...

I read to "Colombia entered a difficult period phase" and had to stop because I was laughing.


Edit:

I tried to keep going but that paper is seriously painful to read. That would have gotten a D at my HIGH SCHOOL.

Oy...

The baby boomers fear the GenXers sneaking up from behind and stealing their place in the work force. The GenXers have no such worries... :p

I had a good laugh too...until I was forced because of it to rewrite a new paper from scratch the night before it was due...it's done now however.

What's worse is he probably passed through high school writing papers at this level or BELOW this level. I think that's the fault of the high school teachers, however grading papers is very subjective among all teachers when it comes to "what to expect" from a certain grade level. It's kinda hard to set a standard I think.

Yes, however he speaks just as well as you and I and you wouldn't know it from talking to him. So that is definitely not the issue here...he "Just wants to get a D"

I went to my profs office hours and told him about how I did literally all the work on this project in a six person group. He said that if this continues he will just fail them.

This is my favorite sentence:

"In 1999 when the GDP fell to negative 4.5%."
