Abstract: Let L/K be a separable field extension of degree 6. An 1867 theorem of P. Joubert asserts that if char(K) is different from 2 then L is generated over K by an element whose minimal polynomial is of the form t^6 + a t^4 + b t^2 + ct + d for some a, b, c, d in K. We show that this theorem fails in characteristic 2.
