WHILE many professors would not have taken kindly to receiving a 19-word essay – one student got full marks for her cheek.
Allison Garrett seized an “opportunity” to submit a one-line piece when writing about film Fight Club for an assignment and was given the top grade for her “humour”.
The teenager – from Tennessee in the United States – picked the 1999 cult movie when asked by her teacher to write a film review.
It is about an underground fight club, and members are told: “The first rule of fight club is you do not talk about fight club.”
Over the years the line has become famous, and Allison decided to enlist it as a time-saving measure for her review.
In a post on Twitter, she wrote that: “The assignment description for essay 5 was to write a review on a movie that we had seen.
“The opportunity arose, and I took my chances.”
Alongside her explanation, the teen shared a screen shot of the essay she submitted.
It featured a Word document blank, except for the film’s title and the iconic quote at the top.
At the bottom, is a message to her teacher: “That’s it. That’s the essay.”
Allison also shared another pic of the comments she sent to her professor when she filed the piece.
She wrote: “I cannot say that I am sorry because that would be a lie. Am I proud? Yes.”
Fortunately, the third image accompanying the post showed that her cheeky creativity had gone down well.
The teacher wrote: “I struggled over this grade for a long time. I finally decided you get a grade for a laugh and how relevant your review is for this particular movie.
“Let me warn you: do NOT try this kind of thing with other professors; they may not have my sense of humour.”
Below their comments, the professor added a “100/100” score.
Allison’s post has been ‘liked’ over 190k times on the social media site and people rushed to praise her.
One person wrote: “This is the greatest thing I’ve ever seen.”
Another commented: “They should just go ahead and let you graduate on that note 100%.”
A third shared: “I need a professor like that.”
We recently told you how a student, 21, has a one-in-a-million sleep syndrome which means she sleeps for weeks at a time and even misses exams.
Another student has blasted a Pretty Little Thing dress after it exposed her privates.
And a third desperate student created a Tinder “presentation” to finally bag a man after 40 failed dates.
