Here's an A- paper at UNC (posted a while back):
Oct 23, 2014, 9:45 AM

I'm sure he didn't get an A+ just to make the class seem legit.
"On the evening of December Rosa Parks decided that she was going to sit in the white people section on the bus in Montgomery, Alabama. During this time blacks had to give up there seats to whites when more whites got on the bus. Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat. Her and the bus driver began to talk and the conversation went like this. “Let me have those front seats” said the driver. She didn’t get up and told the driver that she was tired of giving her seat to white people. “I’m going to have you arrested,” said the driver. “You may do that,” Rosa Parks responded. Two white policemen came in and Rosa Parks asked them “why do you all push us around?” The police officer replied and said “I don’t know, but the law is the law and you’re under arrest."

When you're writing at this level, you need an honorary PhD.

Maybe they should have just given honorary degrees.

here's the real story

http://www.slate.com/blogs/moneybox/2014/04/03/the_146_word_essay_that_got_a_unc_jock_an_a_here_s_the_real_story.html
"The story behind the essay, however, was more complicated than we thought. According to ESPN’s source, what the network’s cameras captured was not a paper from one of UNC’s fake classes. Nor was it necessarily a finished piece of work. It was most likely a draft of one piece of a take-home final for a legitimate introductory course. The student did not earn the A- for the paper specifically, but for the entire, completed class."
but don't let the facts spoil your fun.

oh, so it was a rough draft

wow thanks for clearing that up. I was worried there for a second that unc might have some pretty low standards for athletes. I am sure that, after a few re writes, this individual was writing some thought provoking stuff....

Oh, it's fun alright. Regardless, a UNC STUDENT wrote it.

Is this the level of intellect you want getting an A at UNC?

How doe this affect perception? Does it make a UNC grad feel esteemed or devalued?

When there's no class you can graduate whenever you want.

Heck, give the one and done bball players a full degree. Sign them up for 24 fake classes a semester and get them a UNC Sheepskin in two semesters.

thought.
"It’s an original document from an athlete for an essay—for a final. That’s all I know,” she told me, later adding, “That is the grade level the person was writing at. That’s the point.”
Mrs. Willingham was pointing out that the tarheel athlete involved was not able to do college level work. Thank you for making sure we all realize how bad it truly was at UNCheat.

Well here is some news: The "student" didn't earn a grade at all. Paper, class or whatever! The grade (an A no less) was GIVEN to the "student". Now does that make more sense to you?

That is very embarrassing, even for a rough draft. That weak a$$ rebuttal ending with "but don't let the facts spoil your fun"...priceless. And (UN)Classless.
What does Edelman pay you to come up with this weak sauce?
