College student proves professor wasn't reading their weekly essays, continues getting the same grade with minimal effort: '[I] wrote half a sentence then typed some gibberish'

Has anyone else had the sneaking suspicion that their professor was doing the bare minimum when it came to grading essays? Of course, if students are encouraged to try hard, shouldn't their teachers lead by example? In an ideal world, yes… but this is far from an ideal world.

Here, we have a college student who was assigned short weekly papers that ultimately amounted to just 10% of the grade (each paper was 1% and was graded out of 10). After the first six weeks of the course, the student was only receiving a score of 9/10. Obviously, this is not something to be too upset about, but it was frustrating after a while given the fact that there was no substantial feedback, explanation, or improvement. One week, the student requested a one-day extension due to an unforeseen family emergency. Not only was his request denied, but the professor threatened to fail him entirely if he didn't submit anything. So, the student decided to maliciously comply by writing one genuine sentence and then filling out the rest of the page with absolute gibberish. Guess what he got on the paper, folks? A consistent 9/10.
