I was just checking over my grades for my calc 2 class and I saw that I got half credit on my last homework assignment. Ordinarily this would have been upsetting, but let me show you what I submitted for my last homework assignment:

I have looked at the problems that are assigned but have not had time to work through them. I am still reading the assigned sections and didn't budget enough time to finish this assignment before it was due.



I got half credit for that! This has made my day.

Share your fun stories about teachers, homework and grades with me :)

I would have given you a zero.

My first grade teacher looked like Frank N Furter. It seems like fun now, but at the time, I was horrified.

My Organic Chemistry prof told us about a cool experiment, but warned us "don't bother taking notes. It's really long and won't be testable".

He then told us about a bunch of reagents used, such as toluene, and a long winded process using simple tools.

Long story short, he taught us how to make trinitroglycerin, also known as TNT. He then said "I hope none of you wrote it down. Otherwise I'll be in trouble for teaching you how to make dynamite out of house-hold items. Have a good rest of your day!"

He was my favourite. He won a Nobel Prize o.o

This is an excerpt from the reading I had to do a write up on yesterday in my 300 LEVEL CLASS.

"During the lessons that follow, you will be asked to "click" items and to choose tabs. When
asked to click:
1. Point to the item.
2. Press your left mouse button once.
If you are asked to double‐click an item:
1. Point to the item.
2. Quickly press your left mouse button twice."

I'm not happy.

Unfortunately the only story I have doesn't have to do with work or teachers:

A guy in my class was wearing a very blatant anime shirt in class and didn't give two fucks when he was asked to the front of the class to do some work.

The end.

Nah, just a couple of Lucky Star characters in plug suits.

And if he wanted to try to be Japanese, he'd be talking in broken Japanese and trying to be all honorable or something, this guy is just a giant otaku, worse/better(?) off than I am.

I'm in an Intro to Religious Studies class and recently was asked to define religion.

Afterward, I was only give half-credit and told "It appears as if you have copied your answer from someone else"


Here was my definition of Religion;
Religion - The belief in the supernatural; A. Usually prevalent in an attempt to cope with events in one's life that exhibit extreme emotional excitement (be it negative or positive)
B. A means of understanding or explaining events or occurrences that have no immediate or obvious "logical" or "scientific" explanation
C. Usually contains guidelines or a system of "morality" to explain how one should live their life in the most appropriate or "divine-like" manner.
Because in most religions, people tend to equate or measure themselves in comparison to the deity they believe in to determine "value" of life or depth of morality

Here was the definition I supposedly "copied":
Religion is a means for a person or people to explain things they cannot explain or do not understand in an attempt to bring meaning into their that they cannot find otherwise.

Needless to say, I was pissed because I felt my answer was far more thought-out than the other student's. (Not to mention, his has a typo)
I emailed him and the professor said the way it was formatted made it appear as if I had copied my answer from a website but that he had read my other topics of discussion and determined it was written by myself and gave me full credit.
I told him I formatted in that manner on purpose, because he asked for a definition and I wanted to provide a more "educational" approach as opposed to the "A belief in a higher power, God or Jesus" approach that EVERY other student took. -__-

I was pissed for a bit to say the least. xD Glad it was fixed though.

This wasn't a homework thing, but there was this thing once during sex-ed in school. Okay, you guys have to understand that Singapore is fairly conservative; sex-ed concentrates a lot on abstinence and sex after marriage. Contraception was acknowledged and elaborated on, but the emphasis was on prevention is better than cure and all that jazz. Also, I'm in a Christian school.

Anyway. So the woman was up on stage talking about how sex was a thing that should be shared between a husband and a wife, and they were showing pictures of all the disgusting STDs that you could catch and the like. I was in the back row, and I was fairly bored, so I just said to my friend "I think if you want to do it, you should just drop your pants and do it."

Brilliant thing was, it was at a lull in the lecture, so the entire lecture hall could hear. They turned and stared. I sat, mortified, until I realised a teacher was beckoning to my friend instead of I. So she got the blame, I got off free. 'twas pretty funny when I thought back.

Thats how sex ed is in Texas too. Maybe we're all the same after all! :hug:


Back on topic,

my AP World History teacher was narcoleptic. He was this huge guy and would sit on this tall backed stool for lectures. He would always be mid sentence and then fall asleep, so one of the students would have to get up and wake him up. Just walk up and poke him. And he survived off cherry coke. Cases of it under his desk.

And then I had a science teacher in middle school who always had a boner. But I'm pretty sure everyone had a teacher like that? :/

Meh. Our friendship was pretty superficial; it ended when we went to seperate classes the next year. But there wasn't any hard feelings between us after.

:hug: I love it when someone tells me that something here is the same where they are. :D

We get to go to stores and survey condoms to see which one is cheapest and is still effective.
We then have to show the teacher that we can put a condom on correctly by putting it on a banana.

Heck, here in Kentucky they don't even teach Sex Ed. Our "Sex Ed" was simply a 4.5 week class about reproduction. Some doctor showed slides of a vagina (and compared various organs to fruits. O__O I think this is what made me gay xD LOL) Nothing about condoms, nothing about sex (per se beyond that it produces children), nothing about safe sex. Zilch.
We had a "Health Fair" but organizations were banned from passing out sex ed literature, condoms, etc. and this was a public school. Hell, our high school not only had a child's day care inside along with a child-raising class but a child's playground behind it. That's how many teens get pregnant in the county I grew up in. o___x

Smoking some bud with a mate one lunch time he asks me if I want to skip the last two lessons of the day.
I tell him no because I had science, my favourite subject, and I go to my lesson thinking no more of it.
At the end of the day someone comes up to me and says that my mate got his ring caught on the fence when he was climbing over it to go off campus and has ripped his finger clean off :o
We now call him eddie three fingers.

We had a geography teacher, a middle aged, 7 foot tall, bald headed angry looking geography teacher.

Anyway, someone thought it would be a good idea to lock him in the classroom cupboard when he went to get supplies of some sort.

After allot of shouting and banging the door the culprit decided to let him out, the teacher proceeded to grab said culprit by the neck, hold him up against the wall (at least a foot or two off the ground) and shout in his face for several minutes.

After letting the pupil go he stormed to the front of the room, threw some chairs around and walked out.

We never saw him again.

Oh and our drama teacher killed him self too.
