A College Professor Responds To Sad, Sad Excuses

chardish · 04-27-2005, 08:30 PM

Mike Adams is a wonderful man. He writes often about the sad state of affairs in most institutions of "higher learning." Here he takes the time to respond to the pathetic excuses and appeals for extra credit he has received during exam week.

Dammit...

And I'm about to go into my teacher's office in the morning to see if I can get extra credit so I can pass the class and graduate...

But I've attended every class, done all the non-graded homework, and studied my ass off for the class. However, the teacher is a cockface...

Good stuff. I had a teacher that would only accept your tardiness if you could come up with an outrageous excuse. Not even semi-believable. He moved to Indiana.

My Calc teacher owns the class all the time, but this one takes the cake:

Idiot: Professor, do you curve your exams?
Prof: Curve?
Idiot: Yeah.
Prof: You mean that thing where you get points that you don't actually deserve? No, I don't do that.

What kind of person is dumb enough to embarass themself to ask for extra credit when their attendence ratio is 0.2-1 miss to attend ratio.....

The same person who is dumb enough to miss all of those classes.

This was a good read, thanks Chardish.

I'll see if I can get some from my dad. I'm sure they're great.

Those were wonderfully hilarious, by the way.

PSSH, as if that matters.

I failed World History II in 3/4 quarters (mainly because I hated the teacher and wanted to get him fired), got a C for 4th and a C+ on the final, which gave me a 63.8%. A 64% is a passing D and they round up.

I had no transfer credits going into college (yes! "college" is spelled without a "d" now!). The only chance I had was the APCS exam, which I failed miserably.

Best one:

I’m glad you got my note telling you to skip the final exam. Because you got a “50” on the first exam and missed the second exam, it is now mathematically impossible for you to pass this course.
