WARNING: If you are allergic to teal deer, you might want to stay away. These bitches like to talk. Unless of course you just want to make a personal rant about entitlement bitch students or mean professors, that's fine too.

Over at academics_anon, a young undergraduate gripes about the terrible oppression of attendance policies. To a group of graduate students

Clearly, the boy isn't thinking this through. If he truly wished to overcome oppression, he should be demanding that immediately upon payment of tuition, all students should immediately receive the 4.0 grade points per credit to which they are entitled by virtue of their sacred existence, without having to go through any of that tiresome "education" stuff.

uh wtf. It's really not hard to go to class. The standard 3 days before you get a letter grade drop has always worked for me. I normally use 1 or 2 for sick days (which is hard, considering each class is every other day) and then maybe if I have one left at the end of the semester, I skip one of those joke days where all you do is have discussions or whatever.

And TBQH, I don't really like the students who feel like they have the right to miss class all the time. I'm there studying, why can't they be? Classroom time still counts as doing schoolwork, seeing as you're taking notes, etc. Anyone who bums notes off a friend and shows up to get a D on a test flat out irks me. Medical problems and other things aside, though, obviously.

Plus if you really honestly and truly missed class, rushing in to your professor's office hours in a flurry of panic to catch up on what you missed (no excuses) often can get that taken back off.

[prufrockssong]

Yeah. There was one time at my school where we had a power outage in the dorms and most of the profs were kind enough to understand that we aren't psychic, lol.

Exactly. I actually ran across campus once to catch a test in a class since I had overslept (Nyquil... good for colds, bad for morning class), ran into the room and promptedly FAINTED. Missed the test, but he was really understanding about it. How could you not be when your student is KOed on the ground at your feet?

I got to re-take the test (and got an A), while a person who had slept through it and simply e-mailed him a week later about it did not.

okay so i totally didn't get the 'teal deer' and was about to ask what you meant by it, but upon having checked out the post, your meaning is abundantly clear. :3

[eidna]

I do however, want to go into academia, and dream of becoming a philosophy professor.

Any questions I might've had about this yutz were just answered.
