Wonderful way to start the day

Phone rings. I pick it up. It's my friend Chachee.

"Why weren't you at the final?"

korme · 12-06-2003, 06:09 PM

Ohh no..

ice4277 · 12-06-2003, 06:10 PM

I missed a final once. But I still ended up with a B in the class.

Sorry to hear that though.

Cringer · 12-06-2003, 06:10 PM

and you asked "final what?" ?

Vince · 12-06-2003, 06:11 PM

Yeah, seems as if when I wrote down at the beginning of the quarter that my final was Wednesday at 12, I was wrong.

Good news is that I just went in and took it, but the bad news is that I thought it was Wednesday, and hadn't studied a lick for it. Plus, this guy is the most ridiculous grader ever, and I'm definitely screwed.

if it makes you feel better, everyone in my class showed up for day one of the final... and everyone got no better than half the questions right. This first half was 60% of the final (30% of our overall grade). I got 20someting out of 60 points, so I had to pretty much ace the essay to pass the final.

No curve

tell your teacher that your parents got into a deer accident(if you live where there are deer). That should work.

Vince · 12-06-2003, 06:53 PM

Haha...actually got me to laugh. Santa Barbara isn't really deer location, and since my parents are up in the Bay Area, that probably wouldn't fly. Thanks anyways, though

I love your friend's name.

I have teachers like that, too. They're called dicks. They're almost always those types of teachers who look at you like you've grown a second head if you ask a question in class.

Either teach what you're going to test on, teach what you are going to test on *better*, or get out of teaching, only research because it's all your good at, and stop fucking with people and their hundreds and thousands of bucks they spend to learn.

People don't learn by a teacher saying "now here's your crappy book, read it, and we'll talk about inane stuff in class". If I wanted to to learn everything myself, I could have taken a correspondence class.

Oops, do I come off as bitter about some of my classes?

SI
