I think that professors that mis-grade tests should be spanked...
I got a very important test back today, and thank gawd I checked over each answer and the points that went with them...My prof gave me a grade 20 pts below what I actually got! :mad:

I mean, if you're an Econ prof, shouldn't basic arithmetic come kinda easy?! :crazy:

Corrected now. :)

3. Especially less than a week before the final!
I almost had a heart attack when he handed it to me...I knew it had to be wrong, I studied 10-15 hours just for that test!

But yes, all better now, and he was quite apologetic :)

:hi:

2. Do you know the professor was the one who graded the paper?
Out west we have GTFs that do all of the grading. And they don't give a fuck.

9. I'll agree with that, but only if we can add a corollary that students
who come in whining and fussing about low grades that are actually quite generous should be shot out of cannons...
