Say, red, you were talking about going through your exams, right?
Yes, its pretty chaotic to say the least. One of my professors is so old he can't even walk straight, and doesn't understand the concept of speaking loudly enough for everyone to hear, so most of us can't focus on his lectures unless we sit in the very front row.

Ooof. Does he at least use slides or something?

I had a prof like that for my English class. She still beat us all to class during one of the worst ice storms my city has seen in a while lol

Yes, but it makes me wonder why I even bother coming to the lecture if I can just look at the PowerPoints that he posts online. The quizzes he gives are nothing like the study guides he provides, so there is no point in even looking at them. The exams are even worse.

I swear this old geezer is borderline delusional.

That’s one hell of an oxymoron lol how can you be close minded and teach philosophy? Oh well. Comic Sans sounds funny as shit until someone introduces him to WingDings
I don't know, but he was basically a vegan SJW. I had a pretty tough time showing him that acupuncture has valid medical backing, and is not just some spiritual practice.

It would have been, were he not one of the hardest teachers in the school. The guy basically relished in failure; I think the class average on the final was near 50% or something.
Holy crap, 50%? That's something that should get him replaced.

He graded on an insane curve, so I couldn't really tell you what the pass/fail rate may have been ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Our school also did things quite differently. You literally can't fail a class; if you get less than a C, they put it down as "No record"

What the hell kinda school does that lol that blows. I mean cool that you can’t fail, but it’s like that beach episode of the Office:
“at various points, you gave Jim a thumbs up, Andy ten points, and Stanley a gold star.”
“Well see if there’s a conversion chart in there somewhere”

Nerd school, where the jocks are just madden nerds :V

I think they did it to try and help out the students. People would overload and take extra classes all the time; this way you don't have a bad looking mark on your school record when employers check it. A friend of mine signed up for a class to basically just check it out, he didn't even go to class most days.
