This book is amazingly funny. However, I think it would have been more richly humorous, as well as being a bit less student-oriented if the author (compiler) had also included some bloopers made by professors, instructors, teaching assistants and the like. Because it is not only students who make inadvertent, funny academic mistakes (I have taught and teach German at the university/college level and have definitely written some inadvertently funny bloopers on German language exam questions, and I am not ashamed to admit this).

A humorous look at the world of students, written by a history professor who has been keeping track of answers on tests for years. Funny, but not so funny, because many of the mistakes hit too close to home for any teacher. (

Being a collection of amusing, occasionally hilarious, malapropisms and factual confusions which emanate from the minds of today's young scholars. This concept could, and should, be extended to other fields besides history, and could also support a monthly humor magazine. (

Funny in small doses. Some of these are "are they real?" level, but hilariously funny - if a bit scary (these are apparently university and college students making these mistakes). (

At best a book for reading in spurts no longer than a minute or two. After that its relentless one note humour begins to pall. (
