My Crazy Professor #2

Hey guys! Sorry it's been a while since my last post. (Well except the Desktop Shot, but that doesn't really count). I've been quite busy with school the last few weeks, but now that all my midterms are done, the workload has died down a bit. So I promised a few posts back that I would tell you a little about my OTHER crazy professor. Ok here goes:

My Crazy Professor #2

His Rules (that we know of):

During a Test/Quiz...

1. If your cell phone goes off (even by accident) it's an automatic zero.
2. If you need to go to the bathroom, you need to have an escort.
3. You have to be at least 500 feet away from the classroom to engage in any conversation about the test.

His Rules (we did not know about until some poor student broke it, serving as an example for the rest of the class)

During a Test/Quiz...

1. If you put anything other than your name on the Scantron sheet, he will rip it up as soon as you give it to him.
2. If you so much as glance for a split second at the person's test next to you, it's an automatic zero.
3. If you so much as whisper 2 words to the person next to you, it's an automatic zero.
4. If the time is up, and you are still writing your test and he catches you, it's an automatic zero.

Student#1:
Finishes his quiz and goes to give it to the professor. While waiting, the student whispers to the student next to him and asks him if a certain word is spelled correctly (because he is from Peru). The professor grabs his test and yells at him in front of the whole class "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! YOU JUST EARNED YOURSELF A ZERO! YOU DON'T TALK TO OTHER STUDENTS ABOUT THE TEST!!!" and then slams the student's test on the desk.

Unknown # of students:
Their tests were ripped up upon handing it to the professor... for unknown reasons. Occasionally I would hear the professor ripping up another student's test without saying a word.

Student#2 & #3:
Gave student #2 a zero because he asked the guy next to him for an eraser during a midterm. Student#3 was the guy who lent him the eraser.

Student#4:
When the time ran out to write the test, the professor was yelling "STOP WRITING. STOP WRITING. STOP WRITING!!!" Because people were still finishing up last minute questions. A few minutes later, the professor notices a student still trying to fill out the last questions "OKAY YOU JUST EARNED YOURSELF A ZERO!" (Granted, we were told to stop writing but it's still pretty harsh).


For Student #2,#3, and #4... the fact that they got a zero on the midterm meant that they failed the entire course because to pass the course, you are required to have 30% and over on this test. So basically, by giving them a zero, he pretty much failed those students in one fell swoop. And that's just from MY class! I overheard that he gave out a couple of more zeros for a different class but for the same midterm.

And the best example of him being the biggest jackass ever? ...

We are given time during one of our labs to finish up an assignment. Class is almost over. A student goes over to the professor and asks him a question about the assignment. After giving the student a long-winded answer about the assignment, the student goes back to the assignment and fixes his mistake. After fixing it, he then goes to hand it in and the professor says this to him:
"Oh I'm sorry, I stopped accepting the assignment a minute ago."
So he got a zero on the assignment.

And that's why I have another crazy professor.... who is also a complete jackass.
