In Which Common Sense Does Not Prevail

When a class does almost universally badly on a test (class average is like 60-something) doesn't that usually mean that the problem is on the teacher's end, and not the students'?

He's giving us an extra optional test that can replace the grade on this one. The problem is that this second test would be on the same day as a midterm for another class, which I'm going to have to study like mad for.

Also, there were things on the first test that we didn't actually cover in class. They were in chapters in the book we used, but were not pointed out to us in any form at all.

Teachers don't seem to care though. The holier-than-thou attitude thing is apparent.

absolutely.

i currently have a physics teacher who is lost in his own world. Our first exam, the average was a 53%. I could teach it better than him.

Thank goodness for curves.

My professor's refused to curve the test. He wants to have another test on Wednesday... the day I have a midterm in another class and two homework assignments do.

Considering there were things on the first test we never actually did in class, I'm a little annoyed.
