If You Have to Sneak Out of Class Early...

...you probably shouldn't slip in the aisle and take a full spill.

This actually happened today in our marketing lecture. Class of 325. Probably 240 were there. The class finds out that the material wasn't going to be covered on the exam. People try to quietly sneak out. Towards the back, there were these three girls that had put on their coats and were ready to go. So, a little break in the action, and they're off. They all get up, and start to leave. Only the first girl just completely wipes out on her way out. Boom! Hilarious. Needless to say, I was trying to keep from laughing loudly.

The thing is, I'm getting more an more annoyed at our business undergrads. There's this feeling of entitlement. I don't think that you saw it in engineering. We knew the game. Just don't be an idiot, and you'll get a B. Get within a couple points of the class average, and you'll get your B. You've got to beat the class average by 5 or 6 points if you want an A. With these kids, it seems that the vast majority of them just want to get the grade without putting in the work or learning the material. I can count on one hand the number of people that have come to office hours this semester for extra help. But sure enough, after the 2nd midterm, when grades were down (only down a little bit, actually), the bitching and moaning started. Oh well. This makes me yearn for the day that I get tenure and stop giving a damn.

Anyway, off to bed. We'll see how the next week runs.
