late papers

I had a professor tell me once that he could not allow late papers because it was unfair to the other students who, since they turned their papers in on time, may have had to sacrifice quality for punctuality.

???

Setting aside for a moment the thought that inferior work should be submitted at all, this argument assumes that there is a competition for the grades between myself and my fellow students. Why should my work reflect on theirs at all? In a class of "A" students, should some get "B's" out of an abundance of caution? Why don't you just throw us in a pit and let us duke it out? "...Two students enter, one A leaves!"

I get that there are probably reasons that we need deadlines. But don't pit me against my colleagues to guilt or coerce me into acquiescence. The person who suffers is the one who wants to get his grading in and start his vacation. Don't tell me it's unfair to the students, tell me it's unfair to you!

Communist Store Fronts

I saw these today posted on bb. Some of these are a lot of fun. I think they would make good t-shirts.

Super-Seekers

Two undergrads are bitching about classes in front of the Memorial Union Library, primarily distraught to discover that, somehow, they are going to be graded for participation in a 300 student class. "Come on, like it matters if i go to the lecture! How do they even know i didn't?"

Then, as i was heading into the library, one said, "shit yeah. I can't even go to discussion anymore; surrounded by all those super-seekers looking to graduate!"
