Probably not a good idea...

It's probably not in your best interest to e-mail the professor the day before your paper is due to ask if he would send you the rubrics for said paper -- the rubrics he handed out three weeks ago, for the paper he's told the class that they should be working on all along. You should probably especially not do so with the phrase: "i was wondering if you could send me the papper about the papper that is do."

It kinda sets the expectations, y'know... Just saying.

I suppose it would be considered unprofessional to write back, "Don't even bother"?

Ah, how I miss teaching.

Ouch. I'm pretending that this is an ESL student who got let out of the ESL track a little too early. Please don't disillusion me.

I must admit to having waited until nearly the last moment to write some papers in the past. I do not, however, recall ever asking the professor or teacher the day before the paper was due for the information previously provided. The possibility does exist that I might have asked another student in the class for said information at that rather late date. Also I do not believe my spelling has even been quite that unusual. I'm curious how good or bad the paper will actually be.

At least he's thinking about working on it.

Perhaps he's from Boston and is just writing in the vernacular?
