"I purposefully take the adversarial or least likely position on most of my papers as the professors usually eat that shit up."
True that. i always scored higher on papers that were 'outside the box'. they seem to give you extra points when you think creatively and not just regurgitate the textbook. While morally bankrupt, the theme of the paper is relevant and useful for course welcoming constitutional debate vs. national unity, whatever. professors like that lame stuff.
