did i mention the lengths my engineering professor is going to to combat the cheating he's dealing with?
it's crazy. i think i mentioned it. these fucks are gonna have to pass the FE. you can't cheat on it, and you can't get hired without it. there's no point in cheating now.
so, i'm telling him i'm going to have to miss a couple of classes because i have to go to austin for orientation, and he cuts me off, "do what you need to do. not many people get the opportunity."
I get back a week later and find out the next exam is the next day. no problem. i get the notes and spend all day studying.
exam day comes, and all i hear from all around me is, "you can't use this. it's written in arabic." all of the arabic students had brought in pages of paper covered in arabic text, and were claiming they were formula sheets.
this is my third semester with this professor, and all of his exams are classic engineering problems taken from the text with altered figures. they'd figured this out and had basically all of the material written in arabic.
so, today the graded exams were handed out.
At the end of class, the girl I've been studying with was waiting for me to walk out with her. The professor was surrounded by angry arabs. When I glanced at him he asked, "you were here when we covered the practice exam?" I said yes, and dug into my bag. She said something to the effect of, yeah of course we covered this, and I said, "yeah, but I'm not leaving him here alone."
Followed by me explaining to those lazy fucking cheating cunts that this was the easiest fucking college exam imaginable if a habitual drunk could ace it after missing half the material.
Average grades are in the thirties, and I laugh my ass off when the mexican professor tells the mexicans and arabs that when he had chinese students they all got A's.
