61% D- for a paper that crappy
= fake
I do know of a similar type of paper someone wrote in high school, though. It was rumored a certain English teacher only read the first and last paragraphs of papers he was grading, unless they were written by the few students he really liked. One guy decided to test this. He wrote his 5-page essay, and then stuck a paragraph in the middle of page 3 that was just a rant about the teacher, calling him gay and stuff like that. Sure enough, when he got the essay back, it had a couple of nitpicky marks in the first and last paragraphs, a grade of B+, and nothing to indicate the teacher ever saw the rant on page 3.
