We had a midterm exam on April 8th and the professor promptly returned our exams the following week, April 15th.
Of course, the kid keeps blurting out to the entire test his exam grades and how he felt about the exam, with no one asking him. The professor gave us the range, low 10, high 59 (out of 60), mean 46, median 48, and the kid kept blabbering on about how the student who got a 10 really had to try to fail to score that low. I felt bad for whoever scored the 10 (it wasn't me). How insensitive...
(beginning of class)
Kid: "Can we do numerical examples today? I feel like I did worse on the 2nd exam because we don't do numerical examples in class."
Prof: "This is a grad level class, not undergrad. I cover theory in class and you can do examples at home."
Professor is lecturing about topic and kid interrupts him...
Kid (reading notes on the blackboard from the previous class): "Area under sheer, what??"
Prof: "I probably can't finish this chapter this lecture."
Kid: "So finish it next time, duh."
Prof: "Everyone knows what correlation is, right?"
Kid: "What are you doing in statistics if you don't?"
Prof: "Sample PCA - imagine a supermarket that collects information with many variables, such as household income, etc..."
Kid: "That's how they know what coupons to send you."
