stone age university

What could make a university classify as "stone age" you say?

It all started when we had to write Biochemistry lab reports. These are always fun. Everyone leaves them till the last minute when someone brings to school a copy of what someone wrote the previous year. No one knows for sure what is required of us in these reports, whereas in my college days we were specifically told how lab reports were to be written. This time we had about 10 classmates sitting together trying to figure out what data was valid and what was not (most of the data was made up anyway). I decided I wasn't going to get anywhere with the group and went to the computer lab to type up my report on my own.

I discover that the printer in the lab is out of ink when I'm just about done. No, there's no more ink to refill the empty cartridges.

I go downstairs and print the report from the school photocopy center (a key location on our campus). Success.

I turn in my report, though there's a sneaking suspicion that I've done something incorrectly.

The next day another girl in my class tells me when she turned in her report she was informed that typed reports were not permitted. Yup, it's true. In this year of 2010 a typed lab report will give you a zero. They must be written by hand.
