More adventures in high blood pressure
me: so ryan gave everyone a "pop quiz" today
amy: oh fun
me: he has threatened 2 of them over the course of the quarter
and they are both worth 10% each
so if you miss lecture, you are screwed
amy: is this number two?
me: yes
so this was the question
"i am a genius because i attended comp lit 2bw today and that is why i deserve an A on this quiz"
amy: really?
me: the question was to write that down on a piece of paper and put your name on it
uh huh
what an idiot
amy: this man is crazy isn't he
if he wants participation to count why doesn't he just say that
me: why go through all of that effort making your lectures if you are just going to invalidate all of that knowledge by giving them a bullshit pop quiz
that is basically saying, WHAT I SAY IN LECTURE IS NOT IMPORTANT
and my students complain all the time that they don't understand what he is trying to tell them anyway
amy: are they allowed to ask questions?
me: he leaves room for questions once every 3 weeks or so
also he uses a bunch of academic terms without defining them
like tuesday one kid was like, what is heterotopia?
and i could only answer that because i learned about that last week
(also some jerface kid said, is it the oposite of homotopian)
that kid is very stupid
also really, really hot
amy: that kid is
isnt that always the way?
but really
really
me: is ryan not the most incompetent person to ever have taught anything
amy: he must be high in the running
unless there is a movie where rodney dangerfield teaches college
which I think is a 50/50 shot
me: so three of my students didn't come to lecture today for the quiz
but they each came to talk to me about it
so i got pushovered into giving them credit
if i had a hip hop name, it'd be lil softee
