An incredible homework assignment is going viral for taking its brief a little too seriously.

Jeff Davis, a robotics and engineering design teacher in Texas, set an assignment to embody a Marvel character while writing a CV and cover letter. One student made… well, an odd choice.

Posting photos of the student’s work on Facebook, Davis said: “The idea that you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take lives within one particular student of mine.”

Groot is a character from Guardians Of The Galaxy. A sentient tree-like creature, he can only say “I am Groot”. This, of course, led to a hilariously-written assignment.

“I did receive another very funny resume and cover letter done for Daredevil (blind lawyer by day, crime fighter by night). The resume was turned in written in normal Times New Roman print, but there was another attachment that the student changed to represent the braille dots.

“I never imagined that in a million years that it would be as popular as it has become.”

The original post now has over 120,000 shares on Facebook, and plenty of people have been making amazing puns about the work.

Davis said: “The student received a 95 and 100 on two separate grades.

“He had points taken off for capitalisation and inconsistency on his name ‘Groot’, he left out ‘I am’. Grammar is very important.”
