If the Zodiac killer is still alive (and not reincarnated as Ted Cruz,) then he (or she!) would have to be at least 65 years old, which kinda makes me doubt the āand wellā part of that statement.

Police in Tallahassee, Florida were on high alert
I stopped right thereā¦
Donāt feel so safe and secure:
If there was one thing comforting about the Halloween episode of American Horror Story: Hotel it was the idea that the Zodiac killer really is dead.
Also Iād like more details about the assignment. What was the intent behind āwrite a message in a public forum, take a picture, and send itā? Did this have something to do with studying copycats?
Oh, I donāt. No such thing actually exists.
I just think my odds are really good against someone who is elderly and possibly infirmā¦

Mental note: Do not accept fish from @Melizmatic.
Wise man.

There was recently an episode of Snap Judgement that made a pretty strong case for who the original killer was (his son making the case).
It was an interesting episode. Some of the evidence was pretty strong (like the guyās name appearing twice, unmodified, in the communications that the killer out).
What could go wrong with a homework assignment like that?
I sure hope to high fuck that wasnāt in a safe zone.
Pretty sure Professor Nwachukwu hadnāt been considering the āwhat if a student decides this message should be an explicit threat to murder someone?ā angle.
I just assigned one of my classes a packaging design project. It never would have occurred to me to explicitly state ādonāt pull a āspecial delivery from the end of Se7enā here.ā
It was a class on serial killers and drug cartels. The public message wasnāt going to be, ākittens are cute.ā
If it was the first time Nwachukwu taught such a class, then he should take this as a lesson in how to draft an assignment. Or maybe - since he is Nigerian - how to draft an assignment in the US.
Yes, our students are unique!
Iāve had students complain about the damnedest things, and I teach math. When I teach topics with policy applications, such as rational choice or even statistics, Iāve learned to be extremely circumspect in my choice of examples.
I honestly donāt know how faculty in other departments (especially English, like Nwachukwuās class) get away with some of the things they do. I once taught in a classroom right after a Freshman Comp class, and the stuff that was still visible on the badly-erased blackboards often seemed to me an open invitation to Title IX complaints about hostile classroom environment. I admire the use of extreme subjects to get students engaged, but Iām pretty sure that if I gave my students the problem of calculating the volume of a dildo using Keplerās āvolume of rotationā techniques I would get called on the carpet.
Maybe, but I just looked through all the Spring 2016 course listings in FSUās English department and didnāt see anything matching that description. I have to wonder how accurate the paperās description of the class and assignment is.
He is teaching ENC2135, Research, Genre, and Context. I assume the specific course theme was his own creation.
Yeah, sometimes itās impossible to know what a course is really about from the catalog. Youāve got to contact the instructor.
What are you, a teenager? Youāve never met a healthy 65-y-o? I was talking to a guy 71 yesterday, who crawls under his buddiesā cars to fix them.
