LOL...see my post at #10...I went to Worcester State, and the sociology professor was this young guy who got completely despondent because nobody in the class wanted to participate (as in your example, they all wanted to reguritate and increase their GPA...:)
Occasionally, he would spend five minutes at the beginning of the class staring back at us, waiting for someone to speak...nobody ever would. Then he would sigh, and make some comment about perhaps he should dress up in skintight leather and bring tigers on leashes to class.
I went up to him one day and suggested he should find another line of work...(I wasn’t kidding!) He sighed and said “Yeah...”
Frikking sociology. Evil.
Man I hated sociology, lowered my grade. I was watching Rush on T.V. at night and I was lightning rod in class. Got a 2 point just enough to pass. Funny I get 4 points in calc. Still don’t believe society made them do it. Seems to me the whole class was about not taking credit for your failures. I bet O’dumbaz was a straight a honor student in this class.
