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.
