Funny things written in exams

[sledger]

Building up quite a decent collection of quotes now. Thought I may as well make a thread to share the amusement and for the sake of posterity.

Some amusing ones from the last few days:

"Sexual infidelity should be abolished".

"I'm aware that if I cross a road I may get hit by a passing car, that does not meant it is ok for someone to hit me with their car. Unprotected *** is not dissimilar to this."

"...you have no right to die, otherwise everyone looking to end their lives would simply have unprotected *** with someone who is HIV positive."

"English law on homicide is too narrow. It should be expanded to include non-fatal offences".

"Theft is when there is a dishonest abortion of property belonging to another."

"The defendant claimed to be castrated and therefore did not require a condom".

"Fornication is not unacceptable nor morally wrong."

lim x->0 (sin x)/x

Cancel out x from numerator and denominator

Answer = sin

I have seen this in one of my students' answer sheets.

Not really in the same vein as your ones, but when I was in high school our art class once all agreed to write "Chuck Norris" as the answer to any questions we didn't know the answer to (Because Chuck Norris is the answer to everything).

Safe to say our teacher threw an absolute fit.

Similar to the above. At school we had a biology exam based purely on the previous two weeks work. One pupil who had been away from school for the two weeks didn't think he should have to take the test having not studied the specifics, so he just wrote "Carrot pump" as the answer to all the questions.

My history teacher famously didn't read everything you wrote. You'd get a good mark so long as you started out well and filled up pages. Someone wrote swear words and song lyrics in there.

The last one is quite reasonable, in fairness.

I no longer have it but the best one I have ever received was to a question like this:

and this 14 year old lad carefully copied down 'syntax error'.

haha to provide context, it was written in response to a question which asked to comment on whether deliberately infecting another person with an STD should be a criminal offence. The argument made pursuant of the abovementioned quote was...inexpedient.

This year I had someone write a two-page answer on sticky prices that instead used the term "stinky prices".

I had a textbook one in a mock science test where each of the class marked another person's test. The question was "What is a vacuum?" Needless to say the test I marked said "Something that sucks up dirt, dust, etc."

A Facebook Friend of mine who lectures at a well know university posted a load of daft answers on Facebook and was given a final conduct warning for breaching teacher and student confidentiality.
