Dear Michael,

Every year I attempt to boost my students' final grades by giving them this relatively simple exam consisting of 100 True/False questions from only 3 chapters of material. For the past 20 years that I have taught Intro Communications 101 at this institution I have never once seen someone score below a 65 on this exam. Consequently, your score of a zero is the first in history and ultimately brought the entire class average down a whole 8 points.

There were two possible answer choices: A (True) and B (False). You chose C for all 100 questions in an obvious attempt to get lucky with a least a quarter of the answers. It's as if you didn't look at a single question. Unfortunately, this brings your final grade in this class to failing. See you next year!

May God have mercy on your soul.

Sincerely,
Professor William Turner

P.S. If all else fails, go with B from now on.
B is the new C

It looks like he tried to spice it up a bit on question 20 but then decided to stick to form

I'm sure that's a student ID number. Not nearly as big of a deal.

Am I wrong, have things changed? Our ID number was our SS number.

OU changed a few years ago to a random number.

Before that, most of my classes just had us put our 4x4 on tests/papers.

Most schools changed in the last 5 years.

Reminds me of a story a teacher in high school told us about a class where a teacher made a true/false test. For the first class, all the answers were true. Obviously, the students in the first class figured this out and told the second class. However, the test for the second class had all of the answers false. No one in the second class was any the wiser until part way through the test, someone actually read a question and started figuring out their test was different. Soon, that person was madly erasing, causing other people to question the test, which led to the whole class madly erasing once they realized their mistake.

i doubt the veracity of that letter. i mean, while a college teaching will never be lacking any smartass comments about his or her students who more than smarmy on a regular basis (kids think they are WAY smarter than you and getting away with all kinds of stuff--for entertainment purposes, we have a ongoing file in my department of typically lame student emails, you wouldn't believe some of the stuff).....that's a good way to lose yer employment.

I suspected it was a fake simply because you can't see any markings from the machine that grades scantrons.

that class sounds easier than even one taught by J Clayton Feaver.
