I did much the same onceI prepared 6 months worth of geography course work in one day.
I was meant to be analysing acid rain.
I simply dipped a few bits of litmus paper into some sarsons, and re-wrote a few stories nabbed from the Guardian.
Passed with flying colours. Yay.

GeniousI really should go do this now, it's your fault for starting b3ta...
I don't think I've ever actually done a piece of coursework outside the week before it's due in.

my final geography courseworkfor a-levels:
I decided to analyse various locations on the "Chevin" (big hill on my back doorstep) for the environment, and the plants that grew there.
I did sod all until the last week, where i proceeded walk up the Chevin, look where there was some grass, and where there wasnt, make up a load of plants that might grow then, and create a table of results with percentages that all added up (the hardest part)
After this, I went up the chevin again, took 15 photographs pretty much at random with my crap digicam, labelled al;l the pics how i wanted cos the resolution was so crap, invented some wind speeds, invented a load of soil pHs.. and wrote some generic crud about what grew there, using common sense.
i got a D... doh.
My chemistry went very wrong too.. I actually tried, but it all went wrong, so I wasted about 12 hours of well meaning work, to scrap these inaccurate results.. and uhm.. make up around 200 completely non-existant ones. I then had to write an entire investigationon this (i managed 27 pages)
I got an E... doh again.
I'm now destined for Huddersfield Uni, not Leeds...
TRUST ME, YOU HAVE TO BE A GOD LIKE MR MANUEL TO DO THIS RIGHT.

A level geographyI made up the flow pattern for a river somewhere near my house in lovely Norfolk. They were ok, because I copied them from a book, changing them slightly to avoid detection. Unfortunately, I unwittingly changed them so they looked like a far more complicated pattern. The examiner spotted this and interogated me about it. All could say was that the water went round and round in the stream. The words 'Helicoidal flow' still brings me out in cold sweats. I still hate geography.

I would just like to saythat my dissertation was officially 1 years work including 12 practical sessions, and monthly updates with my tutor.
In reality, i bluffed my lazyass way past the silly mare for all of our meetings. The work started 10 days before being handed in. There was half a practical involving me blowing up my guitar amp with a tone generator.(it was on fourier analysis to test frequency range of electrical equipment by sending square waves through it)
I didn't sleep for the last three days.
After 3 years of starting assesments the night before the deadline and ensuring myself it wouldn't happen again, you think i may have learnt.
And the woman believed me so much, i got a first for it.
