(THE COLLEGE FIX) – In December of last year, a professor at the University of Illinois-Chicago set up a GroupMe chat room for students of his to ask questions about an upcoming assignment for which students had to write a five to seven page paper about some aspect of technology.
“Can it literally be any technology?” one student asked. “I’m scared I’m gonna pick something everyone’s doing.”
“Uh, I mean, im hoping you’re not starting your final paper right now as it’s due pretty soon,” the professor responded. “It doesn’t matter if you pick something other people pick.”
