Chutzpah

-RD, a really excellent and challenging instructor, tells of a lad who complained vociferously in front of the class about what he thought to be an unfairly excessive workload. Later that same class he asked if extra credit was available.

-Around the time he registers for his classes a kid books a flight. The flight is booked for the week before finals begin. As finals near, he asks to take the the final early, or to have other arrangements made since he will be out of town beginning his break early.

-A fellow comes in pleading for a course substitute because a different course will look better on his transcript. It turns out the original course is from another university, and he's not even a matriculated student at our school.

These three were just from this week. I got a million of 'em.

I was in the class with the extra credit kid. I defended Dr. D and RIC stating that the workload wasn't excessive but rather an excellent value for our dollars spent here. We all are getting a first class education at a Filene's Basement price. Or if you perfer- a Yankees education at a Marlins price.
