Most Annoying Student Behaviors

It annoys me when people publicly argue about grades … in my nutrition class (a gen ed class of maybe 400), a question on our first midterm ended up having two right answers, so the professor decided to just add six points to everyone’s grades. This girl stood up and angrily gave the professor this ridiculous justification as to why everyone should really be getting 10 extra points instead of 6 and how she DESERVED it and blah blah blah. She made a huge scene which practically turned into a 400 person shouting match. This went on and on and the professor got so frustrated and tired of arguing with students that she left the auditorium.

And no, she didn’t end up getting her 10 points either. Then she went on the class’s Facebook group and badmouthed the professor (who wasn’t a member of the group, thank God), saying she was incompetent, overdramatic, etc. She even tried to start a friggin’ petition but then some of us finally told her off and she admitted that she had acted immaturely and she supposedly sent the prof an apology email. It was just all so embarrassing. Since that happened the professor has been pretty cold, and I’m sure that on the next exam she won’t be making any adjustments at all to the grades.
