I just sat through a 50 minute class period in which the teacher talked about how he would curve the grades for our last test. He started asking people what they thought about it and what they would do. This went on for 50 minutes. I kept waiting for the professor, if you can call him that, to go into the subject that we're learning about which is Communist Russia...but he never did. I raised my hand at one point and said "Why are you curving the test? Didn't you make it? Didn't you come up with the format which was online with two attempts to get the best grade? Didn't you tell us we could use our notes on the test? Why don't you just give us the grades we earned and start teaching the next test's material so we might know it a little better?" Ok well I only said half of that....but I was thinking all of it.
I throw out random thoughts about the status of the world as I spend my days thinking too much. This is my experiment....we can be friends or enemies. Both are fine with me. Conflict is just as interesting as compromise. Let me know how I can make this blog better.
