Professor Lazy strikes again

I swear, this instructor...

I've mentioned Prof Lazy before and boy, she didn't disappoint this quarter. Just like before, she copied all her tests from the internet or from instructor editions of the textbook (she even neglected to change the formatting or delete the friggin' answer on some of them- thanks for that small favor!). All her exams and homework are multiple choice too- I'm sure she thanks the inventor of Scan-tron in her evening meal blessings.

Needless to say, she barely lifts a finger when it comes to exams and assignments, and she's certainly not going to change her M.O. when it comes to actual instruction. No set notes, no syllabus beyond the list of chapters for the class, and no agenda for what pertinent ideals will be covered after she lists the topic of the chapter. And due to this incredible ineffectual instruction, she has to have an open-book policy when it comes to tests. At least this way everyone won't fail her class, leading to the wondering eye of the administration as to why her pass rate is lower than the Titanic. So she literally gives the class a pass, telling us we don't need to memorize much of anything because we'll be able to use the book.

And just as she's done before, she decides at the last minute that you can't use the textbook for the final, in spite of telling you all freaking quarter not to worry about memorizing anything. So a few days before the final, everyone gets to freak out trying to memorize an entire quarter over the weekend.

The exam covers everthing from "acid/bases to zwitterions"? No problem, I am omniscient about chemistry!

But you may be wondering why does she do this? After all, she's Professor Lazy, not Professor Cray-cray. And you're right- she's LAZY. She changed her mind because she said students were taking too long to take the test, since they had the ability to refer to the book and ensure they were getting the correct answer. Yes ladies and gents, she took away the book because she wanted to get home sooner. And the best way to do that? To ensure students would throw their hands up in the air, fail the exam in 5 minutes, and leave weeping, allowing her to return home to her Barcalounger.

I assume.

So if you're out there studying for the MCAT, partying with your peeps, or even simply doing something as fancy as getting a good night's rest, think of me memorizing 8 chapters of chemistry. I could use the good thoughts.

It all sounds like a 1950's dream come true.
