Re: What I will do for 1.43% of my final grade.....(long w/ cliff note
[ QUOTE ]
In the email I capitalized, bolded, and underlined each 'or'. I think there is a mutual hatred between us, so this would be very sweet if I got these points. God I hate this guy [/ QUOTE ] This is absurd. Do you really think this is about grammar? After sending the (purposefully) annoying email, did you really expect him to say "After reading your caps, bold, underlined 'or's, I've decided that you're right. Here's some points." You could have sent an email saying "Sorry I misunderstood. <Here's why, if you really care. (He doesn't.)> Can I have another 12 hours to do the extra problem? My GPA will really appreciate it." Enjoy your C. You earned it. -Sam

Re: What I will do for 1.43% of my final grade.....(long w/ cliff note
I just got an email back from my professor. Here it is verbatim:
--------------------------------------------- So clearly three problems were required, but it looks like you found a loophole to squirm your way through. I will give you 30/30 on the assignment. i turned grades in; you got a B- which I feel was generous. -------------------------------------------- that email has such a mean tone to it, this is hilarious. i couldnt be happier with how this turned out

Also, I'm pretty sure I never had a syllabus in college that stated "I reserve the right to change this without notice!" or anything like that. [/ QUOTE ]Every syllabus I have ever handed-out came with the qualification "This is just a general outline of the course. I'm sure we'll make changes as we go." -Sam

Kratzer,
Congrats. I could practically hear the sneer in his voice when he typed "squirm." Good times.

Yes! I love doing [censored] like that, you are the man.
Oh and I've been told by several profs that the syllabus is a legal document and must be followed.
