I guess this is one way to prevent the "dumbing down" ...
of college loonies!
from College Reform
Professor is letting students "grade themselves".
Quote:According to online course syllabi for two of Dr. Richard Watson’s fall business courses, he has introduced the policy because “emotional reactions to stressful situations can have profound consequences for all involved.”
As such, if students feel “unduly stressed by a grade for any assessable material or the overall course,” they can “email the instructor indicating what grade [they] think is appropriate, and it will be so changed” with “no explanation” being required.
But hey mom.. I spent that 30 grand a year correctly!! I just said I made all "A's' and I did!

Boss, had a tough year. Too many mean clients. Also, Edith over in Accounting said "That's gay" once and I can't even........ Also, my biggest client just terminated the contract because I don't answer phones, only text, and well by 3pm each day I am soooooo tired.
I'll take 7% raise, and a $10,000 retainer for another year.
