I had a prof who let me write an English paper analyzing the lyrics an imagery of Pink Floyd's "Shine On You Crazy Diamond." Got a perfect 100 on it, too. I LOVED that prof.

I had one English/humanities professor for which I had to write a term paper. The subject was to be some cultural aspect of our society. We could choose our own topic, but could choose Country Western music. I asked why and was told because it was too "regionalized." I picked some other topic.
Within two years I saw a special on TV about how Country Western music was a multi-billion dollar, world wide business, that enjoyed great popularity in places like Germany. I've always wished I had seen that show before having to write that paper."I don't have to be petty. The Universe does that for me."Comment

Probably because the professor doesn't know anybody who likes country music.Quoth Ironclad Alibi View PostKnowledge is power. Power corrupts. Study hard. Be evil.

Unlikey as the school is in northern Florida. She probably just didn't like it. Or she made the assignment in a previous class, and all the papers were on country music.Quoth Irving Patrick Freleigh View Post"I don't have to be petty. The Universe does that for me."Comment

I did have one awesome prof for Linguistics who had us pick a poem and go thru the OED to figure out exactly what all of the words *mean*. I chose "Jabberwocky"
Hell, I really DID want to know what that wonderful gibberish meant. The thing that scared me was, only about *half* of the "nonsense words" in there were defined by the OED as "a nonsense word coined by Lewis Carroll". Most of the rest were real words. Several of the coined ones (like slithy and brillig) even had brief theories in the book suggesting possible origins for the words. Their lexicographers are nothing if not thogough >_>
