    My professor just dropped me off a subject for incurring 3.5 absences when only 3 was allowed.

    Talk about not having consideration. I want to beat the crap out of her outside school.
    If you did this at a real job....you would have been fired.
    You did go past the absence allotment didn't you? It was even probably in the student handbook too.

    It is called responsibility.

    If it's a school policy, she didn't have a choice.

    Regardless, it's not her fault you didn't show up.

    College professors are the most worthless type of educator. Most everything they teach doesn't apply in the real world because they've never been in the real world. I graduated with a BA in 2002 and have yet to apply one single course from college to my current job.
    Maybe Blinn needs to add a course on working that drive-thru headset.

    Not sure what Blinn is, but your wife certainly fits the "worthless bill" that I described.


    Oh, and I'm still waiting for you to fly here and beat me up like you promised last year.

    Well I've never understood why students are paying for college and not going to class... I mean the Teachers are provding thier service to you that you paid for.
    Students are paying for the piece of paper. Sometimes going to class is a complete waste of time. Case in point: I took a Numerical Analysis class, went on the first day, and the prof spent the full hour discussing the bisection method for finding roots to equations (if you have a continuous function defined on some interval that is >0 at one endpoint and <0 at another, it must be zero somewhere in that interval, and you keep shrinking intervals known to have the root to half their size to eventually box it into a very small interval). The full ing hour for something that it took me 40 seconds to prove in my notes. At that point I decided I'd never learn a thing from this guy that I couldn't learn in 1/10th of the time on my own. So, I just showed up for the midterm, the final, and showed up on Fridays briefly to turn in my homework, got an A+, and know that my time was far better spent studying the material on my own rather than being slowed by my class.

    I call BS on this. My dad is a professor at UTSA and has worked in the real world. He was a senior engineer at SWRI for 26 yrs until he retired.
    So yes, he has been in the real world.
    I graduated with a BA in 2002 and have yet to apply one single course from college to my current job.
    You received a BA? In what subject? Why did you not pursue a career in the field you studied for?
    Either you are being less that truthful about your education, or you are the idiot asking me if I want to whatasize my order and getting mad when I ask for more than one napkin in my drive-thru order.

    I think the person who is not in the real world is actually you.

    Sounds to me like Dr. Mrs. Chopper treats and expects her students to be adults and accept some responsibility.

    I use plenty of what I learned for my BS (and MS) at work.

    Sounds to me like you have no clue as to what you are talking about.

    Well said. JohnSmith is just so obviously a miserable person. You can't fake that. Why I ever let him get under my skin is beyond me.

    I'm sure his college professors' lack of real world experience will be largely to blame if/when he experiences failure, as will everyone in JohnSmith's life but JohnSmith.

    He's a great example of what this thread is all about.

    This thread has more segue's than Dean Kamen's garage. So who is getting piled on? Johnsmith for not paying attention about when to ask if extra catsup is needed or Supreme Being for thinking 1+1=0.5?

    I don't think they'd have dropped you if they thought you would have still succeeded.

    They usually warn you about being absent too much like that leaves you subject to being dropped at the professor's discretion, I suppose yours used their discretion and "did you a favor."

    I just hope you didn't just start out with college this or last semester cause now you only get 6 drops throughout your college career in texas if you fall under the new texas legislature policy.

    Well.... at this point you Muggles are going to find out that Ron is playing with Lavender Brown. Hermione is going to be obviously jealous however.

    I've never understood why some profs find it necessary to take role in college. If you can pass the class without showing up everyday, who gives a .
    Are you in theater arts class?

    By the way, it's January 15 and you already have missed 3.5 class meetings?
    That's the first thing I wondered, too.

    I've never been dropped from a class for excessive absence, but I've passed many classes while only showing up for the tests and doing the reading and studying on my own. Why show up to class when I can earn an A without showing up? I couldn't have done this with say a Calc/Trig class but History/English/Econ, sure.
    Why don't you go to a correspondence school instead, if you do not want to be part of the college scene?

    I work at a college. I know a lot of professors, and I can assure you that most of them aren't just pie in the sky academics. Many of them are also ing their grad students. How's that for real world experience?

    That seems like it might be the ONLY class where you could get away with that sort of thing. You blew it, Jimbo.
