Re: yet another question

Here is a sad but true story. Yesterday was the final exam in a course I am taking. The class has met every week, Monday afternoon, from 2:00 pm until 5:00 pm. The final exam was scheduled for 2-5 pm.

Before the actual exam there was a survey we had to fill out about the teacher, administered by the dept. chairman -- duration about 20-25 minutes.

Next the teacher had some "housekeeping" things to deal with and went down her assignments list to tell people what ones they still had outstanding and that they could get them to her by midnight today and still get partial credit. Duration 20 minutes or so.

Then she started to tell us how much she enjoyed having us in class and opportunities for over the summer -- would probably have been a 5 minute thing, had she been allowed to finish.

A female student (late teens or early twenty something) stood up and said "how much longer is THIS going to go on?" and could she PLEASE have her exam NOW because she had scheduled a doctor's appointment at *4:00* in a town about 30 minutes away!

I, and several others, were just appalled! As we were straggling up to the front to hand in our papers later, almost everyone commented on the rudeness and apologized to the teacher *except* Ms Rudeness herself. So sad.

These days some colleges have courses on how to go to college. These courses cover important information like how to use a daytimer and how to post to a newsgroup. ~nod~

I am NOT kidding.

Hubby had to take a class that was an introduction to the college and how to take his tests/do classwork. Kind of makes sense since it is a correspondence class and you are assigned different people for different issues, but still...this is SO sad!!!
