A professor at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga hid a $50 cash prize on campus to prove that students don't throughly read the class syllabus
Kenyon Wilson, the associate head of performing arts at the college, decided to hide $50 in a locker and bury the combination in the middle of his syllabus
The crisp $50 bill and the note that went along with it were untouched by Wilson's 70 students after finals were over

Being an adjunct is like that.
$50 meh...... $5000.00 it would have been claimed, maybe even $500.00.
He didn’t say what was to be claimed in the syllabus, though.
So apparently a million bucks would have still been sitting there, too.
Even if it were $10,000 it wouldn’t have been claimed because no one looked. I suspect there is some similar clause in the software licensing agreements that everybody clicks through.
I put some joke clauses in the software license I was selling to other developers at one time. I made up the license myself because any of that verbage is just a license to sue.
Almost nobody ever reads the syllabus.
Either you want the class or you don’t.
Some might say if you don’t know what a course is about, that may mean you’re not ready for it.
I always read the syllabus first thing, that was in the eighties when we took the college opportunity seriously otherwise our parents would yank us for wasting money and we’d be flipping burgers working our way through community college. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
guess i read it too fast
Would it be legal to take the money?
Or could you get done for theft…
Seems a bit iffy opening up someone else’s locker and taking their money. Even if they did give you the combination.
No risk or joy in your life?
Not these days.
If a kid is in college, that means they do not need a cash prise because either their own parents or daddy government are already providing for them.
Socialism creates laziness.

They told me what they would ask, and what the answers were.
No surprises.
That made it easy, if I didn’t get ‘distracted’.
