I really couldn't make this up....

Here is another in the continuing saga of improbable emails I receive from students:

Hey Prof. Ray!
I totally understand your policy when it comes to guessing on quizzes, I can't blame you for not feeling one is worthy of your time to write out the correct answers if one did not attempt to even bother learning the material... but,... i had missed that class when we were reviewing the correct answers for the quiz. I had called a couple of other students but they are unable to give them to me. However, I was just wondering if i could be an acceptation for this one time.
I just need the correct answers for section 3 of the last quiz (the ones on nationalities) AND I PROMISE TO DO AWESOME ON THE TEST!  
-hit me back :P
 
An acceptation? Really? I don't even know what this means. Oh well, at least she didn't ask what notecards are.

  1. You really should start a "Wall of Shame" for these emails. I do so enjoy reading them :)

    I do believe I'm actually looking forward to teaching...

  2. I think you need to create a Welcome to the Class packet that lists your rules and regulations necessary for surviving the class. You can include these emails as examples of inappropriate behavior.

  3. That is a good idea. I thought the syllabus that I gave out that contained rules & regulations would be enough but apparently not.
