It's exam grading time! My favorite sentences from this batch included the Mount Everest theory of laws, which isn't much better when you take out the typo:
Law of nature is something that guides how the world or things will be in their upmost natural state.
This student had a talent for accurately translating the philosophers' views (Hume in this case) into ungrammatical mess:
Great evil or noble man (extraordinary) are but "freaks" which is similar to extraordinary weather phenomenas observed also in nature which is governed by laws.
I liked the question this student had for Kant:
Are all rational beings autonomous? Then, what about human beings who have been brought up with animals and have never interacted with humans -- do they then have this intrinsic quality of autonomy?

I took your course and I'm very glad to note that I'm not the author of any of the aforementioned quotes. I did really badly for the final paper though; I wrote irrelevant things for one of my essays, and I only realised my mistake when I re-read the question after completing my essay. Oh well. What's done is done. Happy marking, and I hope we continue to amuse you. :)
I shall return to lurking in the dark shawdows of the Internet.
