Cretins

Here's an example: A guy emails me his work saying he can't find the place to submit it online (despite it being clearly labeled on the module web site). He's apparently repeating the module, having failed it last year, and the work he's submitted this year is mostly incomplete apart from the final week's XML exercise (that topic happened to coincide with the same week last year) which is a complete copy of last year's work! (Big fat zero time!) His email is polite (but uses all lower-case letters) and I can't help but think that he's put in about zero effort this year and just assumes he has a chance to pass! To mis-quote Dawg Brown in Cutthroat Island: Stupidity ... who can explain it?
