This is what one of my professor’s did today–not with any ill intent, but with potentially catastrophic results!這是我的一位教授的沒有今日未與任何不良意圖，但與潛在的災難性的結果！

Step 1: Assign a 20 page long research paper, worth 70% of the course grade. 第1步：指派一個20頁長的研究論文，價值70 ％的課程等級。 Have it be due May 5th.它是由於5月5日。

Step 2: On April 22nd, send out this e-mail (names changed): 第2步：對4月22日，發送這個電子郵件（名稱變更） ：

Dear [course] students,親愛的[課程]學生，

In response to queries:在回應查詢：

The paper is due this Thursday.該文件是由於這個星期四。 You may bring it to class, or if need be, bring it by 5 pm to room # of [building].你可能會帶來它上課，或如果有需要，使其由下午五時至室＃ [建設] 。 Give it to [name] at the main desk, or, if she is not there, anyone else in the office.給它以[姓名]在主服務台，或者，如果她不存在，任何人在辦公室裡。

The papers will be graded and returned to [name] by May 11, and will be there in the fall if you don’t get them this spring.該論文將分級和返回[姓名] ，由5月11日，將有將在今年秋季如果您沒有收到他們的這個春天。

Also — don’t forget!也-不要忘記！ — in addition I want an electronic copy. -此外，我希望有一個電子版副本。

Best,最好的，

[Professor] [教授]

Step 3: Success! 第3步：取得圓滿成功！ Fewer papers to grade because, imagining themselves to have only 2 days to complete their probably unstarted 20 page papers, the students’ heads have all exploded.少了文件級，因為，想像自己只有2天的時間來完成他們可能unstarted 20頁的文件，學生的元首，都發生爆炸。

Step 4: For plausible deniability, send out another e-mail, a little bit later, acknowledging your mix-up: 第4步：為合理deniability ，發送一封電子郵件，一點點後，確認您的混合：

Dear [class] Class:親愛的[階級]班級：

Big mistake on my part!鑄成大錯，我的一部分！ i confounded our due date with that of my other class. i混淆了我們應有的日期與我的其他階層。 The real due date is May 5, with the same procedures to be followed as in the last e-mail.真正的截止日期是5月5日，與上年應遵循的程序，因為在過去的電子郵件。 Don’t forget the electronic version.不要忘記，該圖的電子版。

Sorry!對不起！

[Professor] [教授]

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，這是只是一個簡單的mixup之間的兩班'最後文件，到期日，而不是一些巧妙的企圖驅動器的一部分，階級瘋狂，但它肯定令我相當數量的道德創傷！ 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.我讀到的訊息，只是之前去開會，與另一教授，討論議題為一個單獨的18頁的文件，是有點明顯動搖… ： （還有， “哎呀”電子郵件來只有15分鐘之後，使有限的時間，在任何激烈行動，可能已採取。

Still, a message to all professors around finals time: be careful, please!還有一條消息，所有的教授靠近決賽時間：小心，請！ For the sake of your students.為您的學生。 : ) ： ）
