Teacher: It’s Friday, I’ll be handing out a quiz.
Us: Boo!
Teacher: It’s a take home quiz, posted on the web tonight and due Saturday at 5PM.
Us: Yay!
Teacher: What I won’t tell you is that by quiz, I actually mean individual project that really will take about 16 hours of work to complete and at the last minute I will change the due date to Sunday without telling anyone thus costing you sleep, pissing you off, and then making things worse by being unavailable for questions. Also, while the class is about a certain subject, the quiz itself will actually be as much about information from other classes so enjoy not sleeping, not going outside on a beautiful weekend, and basically having a crummy 3 day weekend doing all of this work that is really out of the scope of this class.
Us: Screw you.
Are you sure you went to the right web address? Could it be you took a test meant for another class?
I majored in suckitude my first three semesters of college. Then I dabbled in majors in bongs, eventually graduating with a B.A. in Slacker (summa cum laude)
That does suck. My sympathies, some teachers are just ridiculous.
It would be quite manageable over a normal semester (well, the 16 hour test really isn’t ever), but this is a 3 week minimester. Still trying to figure out when I will be doing homework with work from 7AM to 4PM and class from 4:30PM to 10PM. Wheeee!
