Bloomers and howlers!

The last four days I have been correcting and correcting and correcting the dissertation and term papers of the students. Perhaps this is the most sickest part of teaching a full-fledged B.Ph. course. Nothing wrong in the paper itself. The only problem is that I do not understand a bit of what they write... and neither do they! In such a circumstance, to find some sensible sentence or a simple insight is a like finding an oasis in the desert - but that is a very very rare occurrence. But I should say some do make a valiant effort in expressing the ideas in their own words. Though they falter very badly (due to their lack of language skills) they atleast make the attempt to understand and then write it. There are others who merely copy chunks and paste it in. When put together they make neither head nor tail of anything sensible. But worst are those who neither write their own text nor copy properly! Here is one such example (it is the opening lines of the first chapter, replete with the spellings, as submitted to me):

Sigmund Freud's father was Jacob Freud. When his father passed away, he remarried again. Jossop Freud second marriage was to a very young lady.
