Better late then never

This is lousy multiple choice test writing. And it seems to me that students who are marked wrong for choosing answers that are identical to them correct answers would be justified in making a complaint about this professor to the academic council, the dean's office, etc.

Maybe this idiot thinks that all illnesses and deaths can be scheduled in advance

I had an English professor who 100% would have done this. Every now and then when I write work emails (12 years after graduation), I still wonder what she would think of them.

lmao u got rickrolled by ur professor

If this is not illegal, it should be. At the least this is unethical.

I hope you shook his hand when you next came to class.

I totally agree, no curves, stand on your own grade.

This is fair, I have had a few bad experiences of being stuck next to someone who smelled really bad during a test. Made it a lot harder to concentrate.

It actually sounds kind of cool. The professor is setting an example by not being discouraged and is showing that it's common for authors to receive rejection letters. This actually seems like a great lesson.

Calculous at one minute per?! Delusional, period.

wtf

I’m guessing the professor also doesn’t have free printing but the burden shouldn’t fall to the students. I blame the university.

??? Now it's better for the class to be doing poorly???

“mY bAd!” bruh

Tbf, professors do not choose the rooms for exams. Usually these are assigned by the registrar's office. It is very probably the case that the professor had never been in this room/auditorium before, and just walked over to check it out the afternoon before the test. He was likely surprised to find out that there were no flip out desk tops attached to the seats. Hopefully he had his TA's scrambling to round up clipboards to hand out.

Gee, I bet that got a huge response..*crickets*.

I had this happen consistently for about 2 months for an English class which was mandatory by curriculum, and it was a double 8am class... The next class was at 10. So I did what any sane person would do and called the office every single day-before to check if they've finally found a substitute for the class the next morning. I also updated my group about it regularly because fk coming in for an 8am class that isn't even held. Edit to add - that office had saved me more times than I can count, I bought them all cake for the day I graduated

"Ethics"

Then hand in your assignments on time 🤷‍♀️

Was English a second language to your Professor of English? This looks like a poor translation into the English language from some other language.

Sorry how is this a negative thing?

Ooh we had this happen too one freezing winter back in 2012, all classes were cancelled except for one - and it was the vice-deans class. Only when the government made it official that no one was to travel unless it was an emergency did he drop the class for the week...

"Yeah I just came into school today and this was here. I don't know how it got here!"

I don't think this is a "please love me" thing. I do, however, believe that there are serious problems with the current student evaluation system in higher education: 1. Firstly, the people doing the evaluating are not experts in the field of education. Nor are they experts in the specialized field of study that the course is in. Yet somehow the system places them in the role of evaluating their professor's expertise in both of these areas. 2. Secondly, the majority of the student evaluators will be generally aware, at the time of performing the evaluation, that they are likely receiving a grade that is less than a "B". Unfortunately there is a tendency for resentment to be expressed as criticism of the teacher. 3. Students are not aware that these evaluations are weighed quite heavily by other faculty when making hiring/firing decisions.

...why?

I had a teacher like this. Apparently if you got full marks then "you wouldn't try anymore because you already succeeded once" so the most you could get in that class was 90%. Anyway, everyone decided that since you couldn't get full marks no matter how hard you worked, no one put in any effort (the average grade became 60%). The teacher was replaced soon after.

Call, don't text if you want an answer right away.
