Attempting the impossible
I've had six hours of sleep and I now have to watch a film, write a 500 word commentary on it, and get into Uni to hand it in. This is far more work than I'm used to at the moment. Still, the film is only Hamlet - how hard can it be?

I've pulled longer reports out of my ass and gotten decent marks. You'll do just fine (provided you're good at improvising deep-sounding answers -- the fine art I like to call "winging it").

MOBN: There is a slight difference between the quality required for school and university. But you already knew that.

OSIWM - there's a little thing called "plagiarism" in our country which says that, when you're in your final year of a degree, you're not allowed to pretend other people's work is your own. Crazy, eh?
I pride myself on being an expert improviser under pressure, but these three essays were probably piss-poor. Oh well, serves me right for not doing them on time and stuff.
And, for the record, I had it done in about two hours or so, because unlike you lame-ass students, I don't put out the first 500 words I write - I actually edit and re-write and stuff. And I had a mad hour. Ty can tell you about that.

That happens to everybody once in a while. Just recently for my compilers class i had to write a recursive QuickSort on the Intel 8086's assembly language which i had zero knowledge of. I had to go through a tutorial for the 8086, write the recursive algorithm, debug it, and write a report for it. It was due in the morning of the next day and i started after i got home from work at 10PM. I got around three hours of sleep, but got full credit. Of course i also had a quiz in my Probability class in the same day, but i just did terribly and ended up dropping it.

Yes. The class I speak of, however, is AP English, which happens to be a uni class. Advanced students are allowed to take it their senior year of high school, and then don't have to take it their freshman year of uni.
So, yes, uni quality can be achieved in fast times, but only if you actually paid attention in class...
