His professor sent him an e-mail the following day:
Dear Michael,
Every year I attempt to boost my students’ final grades by giving them this relatively simple exam consisting of 100 True/False questions from only 3 chapters of material. For the past 20 years that I have taught Intro Communications 101 at this institution I have never once seen someone score below a 65 on this exam. Consequently, your score of a zero is the first in history and ultimately brought the entire class average down a whole 8 points.
There were two possible answer choices: A (True) and B (False). You chose C for all 100 questions in an obvious attempt to get lucky with a least a quarter of the answers. It’s as if you didn’t look at a single question. Unfortunately, this brings your final grade in this class to failing. See you next year!
May God have mercy on your soul.
Sincerely,
Professor William Turner
P.S. If all else fails, go with B from now on.
B is the new C
Seeing as how I work in admissions at a major university, I can attest to the fact that not everybody we admit is based upon serious academic merit….
Btw, Chris (or IS MICHAEL your real name??), you should not be displaying Mr. B’s last name and student ID number. While you are not “technically” in violation of the 1974 FERPA act (I’m assuming you don’t work at the institution), the professor clearly is in violation!
Considering I have the feeling this was made up anyway… I simply don’t think professors can be this witty… I doubt he’s in violation of any act– particularly one with the acronym FERPA. LOL.
PJ,
Do you know how many laws we violate on this site. A lot. I can’t say I’m really all that worried.
Trust me I have bigger things to worry about.. (Christine’s state of mind being #1 on that list).
We do not violate any laws. At least I don’t…
Dissension Christine.. you violate that one all the time.. and I know just the way to punish you.
I don’t know what that means Chris, but she sure does disagree with everything you say or do… :s
I think he’s implying that my audacity to dissent is against the law since he believes he’s God and is therefore a supreme being. Right?
I’ll stop disagreeing with him once he starts saying things that are correct.
Christopher Supreme Being, that is exactly right Christine.
