Dude this is a far superior topic, I remember we used to have these big roller type white boards and one panel would still be a chalk board. I remember in detention we once drew penises on to the white boards in permanent marker (the good type the ones what require a bottle of meths to clean off) and on the blackboard panel we drew a full on pornographic image in wax crayon...teacher got forced to use the blackboard next day, everything they wrote kept on getting messed up by the wax and when they rubbed it all off the chalk dust highlighted the image xD was epic. Teacher got in , we all got about 3 weeks worth of detention. Ahh to be in year 9 again!

Edit: Justy, if you have the coursework at home, if you have some evidence that you submitted the work then appeal the "fail" grade which is in your legal rights to do so. Essentially you'll go through a tribunal to get your grade and will have to prove the lecturer was incompetent and your work needs re-assessing. It's not an easy route to go down, but it's worth it at times.
