[The sound of a deep, muffled voice begins speaking as if addressing a large room:]

There has been a rather disturbing lack of cooperation in all of my political science classes. The lack of debate and the apathy towards the state of the world has been very disappointing.

As a result: all political science students must turn in an assignment in a week's time.

The assignment is: Why Democracy Is a Lie, and Why All Governments Are Unjust Tools of the Elite Used to Destroy the Working Man.

All papers must reference at least one government-related atrocity and use statistic to estimate how many have perished at the hands of their government of choice.

[And suddenly Darcy's voice pipes up.]

Woah, woah, woah. Should we give them something a little more open ended? And less...depressing? We want them writing papers, not spiraling into a fit of depression.

What about a paper on Obama vs Romney? They can defend one candidate.

[There is a low, muffled sigh of frustration before Bane adds:]

Or a paper about Romney or Obama. Either is fine.

If I made it single-spacing, no one would hand theirs in. As it is, I am already expecting several students to hand me two pages or less.

You must spend a lot of time being disappointed in your students.

[gothams_reckoning]

Only those who are lazy or unwilling to learn.

[likethetragedy]

That's at least half of us.

[gothams_reckoning]

And that half will be graded accordingly.

[likethetragedy]

Fair enough. [Aka she'll stop trying to get a rise out of him now.]
