Most of the time, I have no problem with people being proud of their accomplishments. I have said before that unlike most people in my life I have college degree and hopefully very soon I will have two more, but that does not mean that I act as if that makes me better than anyone else. I do have a problem with people who expect things out of others or ask things of others, yet they do not think they should be held to such standards. As if they or their lives are more important than others and therefore they do not have abide by such things.
The professor, of my one 100 level class, has a very strict attendance policy, even though the university that I go to does not have an attendance policy at all. I do not think that I would have had a problem with this if he had not missed so many classes. Not only did he miss more classes than I could count, he has proceeded to count our absences as part of our grade.
I do understand that having such a strict policy is necessary when dealing with fresh out of high school freshman, which is what most of the students are, but come on. I believe that it should not matter how many classes a person miss, if they ace the class then they aced it, get over it.
My grade is not going to be horrible with my absences but if it were he and I would so be having rounds right about now, considering that my actual exam scores are fairly high, mostly As and Bs. But, since I have to have him again next semester, I do not want to piss him off and get a real bad score in the next class.
My 600 level grad class meets one night a week for like 3 hours, and we do a ton of work in that class, and his attendance policy is . . . well I do not even think he has one. Luckily, I have a near 4.0 in that class, so if I make a B or C in my undergrad class it should off set it and keep my GPA up a little.
I do not have high standards, I have always been a B student, and I am alright with that. Still I may email him, because I did miss a few classes but only two were for no reason. Wish me luck with that.
