Professor Regrets His Grading System Policy After Student Maliciously Complies And Only Sends Him The Title Page For Their Assignment

Different professors have different teaching styles. And some, like one of Reddit user RedditAdminDumb87‘s, have developed their own grading system, too.

But as tax-evading billionaires would agree, policies are built to be exploited.

So after finding a loophole, the Redditor decided to hand in just the title page for their last class assignment. However, I guess the professor took it as a personal insult because he started bending the rules to dismay the student from getting their way.

This student took advantage of his professor’s grading system

I was a college professor for almost 20 years and I totally agree with the student here. The syllabus is a contract. Neither party can change the terms of it. If a student doesn't like it, they can always drop the course after the first day. But the professor is obligated to uphold the terms that s/he laid out.

True but the PURPOSEof the courseis to learn. What this guy did, and perhaps the policy itself, is to focus solely on grades and not on learning. Spend all that time and money on the course and then spend half your time trying to learn as little as possible seems self defeating.
