We all know how stressful the first week of school can be. But thanks to add/drop, we also have to deal with deciding if our professor is going to be certifiably insane or become our new BFF after just one class meeting.
Placing add/drop during the very first week of school was probably the worst decision ever. Almost as bad as that time you decided to stay in a class and then found out after add/drop that your professor did in fact fall under the crazy category.
1. You walk in the first day ready for the new semester.
Your professor seems OK…he only mentioned one project. It is a group project, but you can do this! How bad can it be?
2. Wow, no homework yet? OK, thanks!
3. Why do I have a 0 on Webcourses? Oh never mind, he fixed it.
Just a silly mistake. It’s all-good now.
4. Wait, why is there a discussion post, three replies, 100 pages of reading, a 500-word essay and a quiz due on the same day?
I'm pretty sure this might actually be illegal.
5. Why is this all due the day before we learn the material?
Yes. Definitely illegal.
6. I’ll just message him. OK, he said it would be OK. I can bring it all back up.
7. We have a test the first week? We probably don’t need the book for it. He knows we don’t have money until disbursements drop next week.
8. Everything is from the book. I’ll just fail this. He drops one test right?
9. Scrolls to “groups” tab. What is this group? I didn’t know we had a group. We’ve had three assignments due here?
This isn't in the syllabus!
10. Okay, I have a borderline C. That’s passing right? If I get a 99 percent on everything else, I can keep that C.
11. If I withdraw, how much money will that cost me?
12. He put meme’s up on the first day of class! There is no way he’s this disorganized!
13. OK, I have one last essay. I’m fluent in English. I can ace this.
14. “Mom, I swear. I went into his office and he straight up told me he wouldn’t give me an A because he didn’t agree with my opinion."
"It was an opinion essay!"
15. Next semester, I’m not even doing this. I’m just dropping anyone with more than a three-paged syllabus.
