I just sent this to the prof.

This is bad. Really bad.

In all honesty, this is possibly the worst example of writing I have
ever seen. The paper is written in colloquial street slang much of
the time, and serious issues with syntax, grammar and basic
punctuation are very, very prevalent. No attempt is made to engage
with academic sources or the material covered in class. It is obvious
that the two students did not collaborate in any fashion while
writing, and the paper distinctly reads like two disparate essays that
have been pasted together at the last minute. This paper would fail
any high school class, and I am having serious difficulty believing
that this was actually turned in as an academic paper. I think that
some sort of discussion needs to be raised with these two students,
because this is not the sort of work that can be accepted at this
school. I am actually insulted that they would give this to you for a
grade.
