Sometimes I give an assignment and I give two weeks to get it done, with clear instructions, and all my expectations laid out... and I receive something back that looks like this (that is a random search I did for "really bad homework", it's not an actual assignment that anyone I have ever taught has handed in - close, but not quite).  

Then there are days when you can tell they put so much effort into their work, and I am extremely proud of them.  Today is one of those days.
