The Good News: Somebody finally hacked down the shrubbery that was threatening to overtake the pedestrian cut-through between Brandon Avenue and Valley Road. The daily risk of contracting tropical infectious diseases while traversing Valley Road Jungle has now been removed.
The Bad News: Our Gross Anatomy professors devised the most illogical peer evaluation system possible. We have to rate each of the four members of our group on a scale of 1 to 5, with 3 being the highest. Then, using our initial responses, we re-rank them on a scale of 7 to 13, with 13 being the best score and all scores totaling 40. This numeric value is then compared to all of the others given out in our class, and we are each assigned a final score worth 5% of our final grade. Confused yet? Me too.
Allow me to propose a few alternatives that make more sense:
1. Rate team members on a scale of 1 to 4.6415888336, but only in increments of cubed roots. All scores must total pi. Lowest number equals best score.
2. Rate team members in multiples of i. Only those will real numbers pass.
3. Rate team members from Apple to Orange. Size of fruit determines final grade.
4. Rate team members using a single Chinese character. The more brushstrokes, the more likely they are to be imprisoned without trial.

i think you're teachers need more things to do in their spare time than devise the most confusing and inefficient ranking systems known to man. i mean...aren't they doctors?? shouldn't they have lives to save or something??
