Re: Dumb statements you didn\'t think you\'d hear in college
The whole point of the curve/scale system is no one gets above a 100. You add more points to the bottom. I forget which technically refers to which (curve I believe makes the average a 75, scale means that people who score the worst get the most points iirc). Thats why everyone always hates the kid that gets a 98 because that means everyone else is gonna get 2 points. The purpose of the scale system is to make the distribution what it should be, not inflate people's grades to absurd things, and also to adjust for someone always being able to get a 100 (ie if no one gets a 100, theoretically it wasnt possible to do so).
Or you know, make the test easier so not everyoen fails it and the scale naturally falls around a C, or whatever you want it to. It's really not that hard, but I've always wondered how profs had issues with that concept. Or if one test has an average of a 60, just make the next test easier or vice versa. All that matters is the class average at the end of the semester, not any individual test. No one should ever get above 100 on any serious test, by definition you can't get more than 100% of the questions right. Your profs are retarded, or don't know basic math concepts.

Re: Dumb statements you didn\'t think you\'d hear in college
A good friend of mine at school was a very attractive girl but not too sharp upstairs. She had a natural 38 DD bust. And she always wore shirts that wouldn't fit an infant and always low cut. If you show them off like that, hey more power to you but don't make the following statement while wearing a white [censored] that is so tight everyone can basically see everything.
The class kiss ass, in a political science class goes into a theory of his and during one of her comments, he kind of laughs at her comment. She then says.... "Well i just think it's sad that all you do all the time is show off , becasue you think you're so smart. You're obviously trying to make up for other areas that you aren't very good at." The entire class just stared at her and was like, haha yeah ok, good one, and you aren't doing that???? haha

Re: Dumb statements you didn\'t think you\'d hear in college
I was walking out of a corner store a couple of weekends ago when a girl walked by on the phone and said to whoever she was talking to, "Is there really a legitimate difference between white and brown sugar?"
i think it was just the use of the word legitimate that got me. At a hockey game last weekend. "They only play one period in college right? or is it two."
