I don't think it's productive to agonize over or debate a prof's grading prolicy. It's like when playing a certain game that I won't mention: To be a good player, you have to adapt your playing style based on the texture of your tablee. You have to take the professor's grading style, and adapt to it.For instance, You might do the math and determine that throwing an exam can give you a higher expected grade for the course because it qualifies you for extra credit.

i'd just like to add why i actually posted this 'mistake'. it was pretty crazy because some people had like a 60% in the class and got a 100% on the extra credit and got lower grades than people with 50% in the class who got a 75% on the extra credut. you would think it wouldn't come up often but since all the tests were incredibly difficult an there was no curve the %s were all over the place so these kind of anomalies were commonplace.

I had an econ test last week. 5 kids got 100, 27 failed. There are 32 kids in the class. My teacher then proceeded to give an extra credit assignment worth 100% of the points back that you missed on the test, and it was mandatory. So 4 other kids and I had to do the homework which benefitted us nothing, and everyone else got bailed out for being retards.

It saddens me that this is the case for many, many people. It certainly shouldn't be the reason anyone goes to college.

That cat in cali that left his laptop with hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of privy government and business deals for some punk to steal on his desk.

I wasnt there, but pretty sure that was it.

i went to a pretty good school and i found that about half the teachers did not even read your papers. some professors tried very little. think college is a waste because of this. but hey if you want a good job i guess you gots to go. anyway you can have fun and probably get all Bs if you take the right classes. i speaks and write good english from my college experience.

Wow, that would really grind my gears....

Can I start with a "worst mistakes made by college age kid's parents?" 'Cause sending them to college seems to win hands down according to OOT.

I had a teacher in Middle School who was talking about his personal life, and got onto the topic of his wife. I don't know what he was trying to say but he slipped and said he likes to lick her p***y.

Lots of laughs after that one. I don't think he came back that year.
