Your smackdown of the day

[Alcibiades]

LOL recently a professor at a Polish university got under fire for posting the following on the website, together with the exam results:

"To all the 80 people who failed the exam, I wish best of luck, a nice job at KFC and many unforgettable moments in an unemployment office.

If any of you ladies and gentlemen, in connection with the results, intends to hurt themselves, please do it outside of the faculty building, as it's a real bitch to clean blood from the floors and they are slippery enough already."

I feel like a class that has 80% of its students fail a test indicates that the professor may not be teaching very well.

The professor seems to have way too much time on his hands. More normal behavior by a working person would be to send a short "thank you for your comment" e-mail (or ignore it completely) and then move on.

That certainly applies to your math professor.

Student is an idiot for thinking anyone at his university gives a god damn shit what his opinions are.

True, and professor is a moron for spending lifespan on such a petty statement to someone who isn't even a student of his.

Student = fail, and prof = epic fail.

Shopping for Classes - Barnard students have a two-week window in which they may attend as many classes as they want before they finalize their schedule with their advisor, called "shopping."

I know Barnard != NYU (it's like the Radcliffe of Columbia) but I suspect that NYU business school does something similar.  This is not to defend the student but rather provide some context into what the student was likely doing here.

As usual grumbler agrees with me.

Especially considering how much more his time is worth.

Yes, but it sounds like he's the kind of person that enjoys berating others.

[Jaron]

Tis similar to grumbler picking apart not only the arguments of those he disagrees with, but their grammar, punctuation, anything he can get his hands on.

grumbler is probably one of the most esteemed and respected posters here both on this board and in his real life. No doubt many young man and woman look up to him and cherish their moments in his class, but Languish is definitely an outlet for him to blow some steam.

Maybe for this professor, berating students that aren't his are his way of chilling out.

Sure, we've got the add/drop period at my college, but in general, our majors are very specific, leaving only room for a couple of options for each elective, and generally, the classes are scheduled so that one class in a department doesn't interfere with another class in the same department or elective classification.

I'm somewhere in the middle of the "obtaining an education vs. buying a certification" debate.  I'm in my classes to learn, absolutely, but those classes are expensive, so I'm going to try to keep them germane to my chosen major.  That doesn't preclude my gen. ed. courses, of course, since both the college and its overseeing accreditation bureau have decided they're germane to my education, if not to my major; they're a part of the cost of obtaining my degree and provide some extra education as a bonus, so I'm not about to complain about them.  I do lean toward, "I'd love to take this elective if I only had money and/or room in my schedule" for a few subjects, though.

I'm sorry that your college is more like high school?

I think I had one quarter where I'd figured out my final schedule before classes started and that was the quarter I was abroad.

I'm trying to figure out what Bananas post had to do with the topic.

Or is he simply sprouting personal information out there for digestion and pity ?
