Aiee!!! aiee ！ In all fairness, this was just a simple mixup between two classes’ final paper due dates, and not some ingenious attempt to drive part of the class insane, but it certainly caused me a fair amount of moral trauma!在所有的公平，这是只是一个简单的mixup之间的两班'最后文件，到期日，而不是一些巧妙的企图驱动器的一部分，阶级疯狂，但它肯定令我相当数量的道德创伤！ I read of the message just before going to a meeting with another professor to discuss topics for a separate 18 page paper, and was somewhat visibly shaken… : ( Still, the “oops” e-mail did come only 15 minutes afterwards, so that limited the time in which any drastic actions could have been taken.我读到的讯息，只是之前去开会，与另一教授，讨论议题为一个单独的18页的文件，是有点明显动摇… ： （还有， “哎呀”电子邮件来只有15分钟之后，使有限的时间，在任何激烈行动，可能已采取。
