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.

More Incredible Emails...

Here is what I sent my students:

Attached you will find the Review for our mid-term, which will be held this Friday. As much as I really don't think I should have to do this, I will offer 5 bonus points to those of you who turn in your notecards to me right before the test. That way I can verify you have not just handed me blanks or some cards for another class while you take the exam. I will hand them back to you when you turn in your exam.

Here is what I got back:

Hello

Do we have to turn in blank notecard with our name or what?

This student did not even sign the email, It's not that I have omitted it.

Then I got this:

What are notecards ? What do I write in these notecards?

Thank you.

???????????????? I seriously do not even know how to answer these.
