Great...now this "prof" is gonna flunk every kid in the class wearing a Pats hat. I had a professor of chemistry my freshman year at B.U. He was from Texas, and a total yee haw redneck. 412 students in the class and he flunked every freshman...390 if I remember correctly. The final exam he gave was easily a six hour, in depth exam...time limit? two hours. There were twelve suicides immediately following the posted grades....2 from the 7th floor of my West Campus dorm. I went to my R.A. to get an explanation for my D and he told me the Professor gave strict instructions...no scale. I finished 3/4's of the exam without a mistake... D...the highest mark in the class anybody got.In fact, more than 3/4's were F's. So I'm a little pizzed off, as anyone who's been a member here can imagine. I go straight to his office down in Kenmore, storm into his office and his elderly grandma, grey haired secretary says to me..."well, I've been expecting some of you, you're the first one.." with this grandmotherly smile on her face. WTF???? So I try to be as polite as possible, because believe me, I WANT this azzole and she hits me with the hammer.."oh, professor left for a tenureship at U.T. 2 weeks ago...sorry...he won't be back"....grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
That was 1970. Long hair, bell bottoms, free love,Yippies, hippies and open drug use. Professor was a cowboy hat wearing John Wayne wannabe with the guts of a Texas tick.I learned one thing from that year...those that CAN...DO...those that can't..become professors.
3/4ths of the exam is 75% which yields a grade of 75, a C.
I think you must have flunked math.
