suffers from anxiety, depression, and poor concentration

All the qualities one wants in a nurse.

Yeah. That’s who I want nursing on me. Someone who can’t find the vein without her professor right there.

Wonder what the lawyer who took the case said he/she could do?

According to Burbella, during the course of the final exam, she cried “more than once” because she was not being helped by the professor.

Poor baby snowflake. That mean professor (probably one of them racist white men, dontcha know) should have handed her an A right then and there.

So her inherent defects mean she is owed $75,000?

Awww. Poor Jennifer. So what if she’s too much of a dummy to pass the class? Her feelings have been hurt and that’s all that matters. She should get an “A” to help build her self-esteem.

Cosmetology might be a better vocational objective.

Sounds like “Womyn Studies” is her major.

Easy 4.0.

No brains required.

And...added bonus...she can become a Harvard “Professor”.

During the course of the test, Burbella repeatedly called her professor on a cell phone, but the professor did not answer. She blames her failure on the exam on that.

Since when can you make phone calls during a final? And why does she think the professor was required to help her pass the final? When I went to college, if you even talked to your neighbor during a test, you got a failing grade. And if you had any questions for the professor, you’d better have gotten them answered before the test began, because once it started, you were on your own. The only exception might have been if the question was poorly worded or you didn’t understand what was being asked.

I haven’t taken a college course in quite some time.... But I never recalled being able to call the professor for help during the exam...

Is this something new?

Yeah I want an anxious, depressed nurse who cannot concentrate to treat me and my family. Sure. Why not?

Maybe interior design might be a better life choice. :-)

And this is a perfect example of why the attitude prevalent among university administrators that treats students as “customers” is the destruction of education, particularly when it is absorbed by the students.

The customer is always right. The student is often wrong and occasionally so irremediably wrong that they can’t be set right by taking the course a second time. The dynamics of a university don’t fit into the mold of commerce: students are in some ways more like a raw material, in others more like customers, in yet others more like junior employees.

See needs to look into a new career, perhaps the hospitality business: strip the sheets, grab the towels, replace same, make sure that you put the chocolate centered on the pillow.

Nah, probably more than she can handle.

This is likely an ADA accommodation situation. Her anxiety was probably classed as a disability so she was able to request and get the extra time and an exam room away from the other students taking the exam. I have had students who have requested various accommodations and it is usually never a problem. In this case she expected the answers to be handed to her, spoon-fed.

I have had one student who did not fall under ADA but who failed a graduate course twice and demanded in the last attempt that she be given credit for the late assignments she turned in...a week after the course ended. The entitlement mentality that some students bring to their studies is more than astounding at times. Unfortunately for my student I would not buy into her premise.

Waaah!!!!! Several decades ago I tried out for the Green Bay Packers because I wanted to be the QB and make millions of dollars a year. I could only move half as fast and throw the ball half as hard as Brett Favre. So they cut me after the first tryout. Five minutes into the tryout.

Waaaaah!!! I'm experiencing severe distress and pain from failing to make the team. Waaaaa!!! I demand somebody pay me for my emotional distress. A million dollars will do nicely. Waaaah!!!

If you can’t hack it as a nurse, change your major. There’s a reason colleges offer “Communications” as an academic study. And if you can’t keep up with brain-damaged football players, there’s always elementary education.

This wannabe nurse is the expected result of an education system where “self esteem” is a system concern.

This student/litigant is little more than a walking, talking blond joke, unable to pass a simple nutrition course.

Hello! She sued over a simple course, not a course in differential equations, not even a calculus course.

Blond, dumb and litigious is no way to go through life.
