1) I gave a pop quiz yesterday (yikes!). It was apparent that one of the students had not done his reading. Glaringly apparent. I even said, "J. it is obvious you haven't read." However, his lack of reading did not stop him from trying to participate in the class discussion. He raised his hand every second (I had to call on him). But when he said things it was WAY off topic and incorrect. I literally said five times, "No. you are wrong." The whole thing was just odd.
2) While leaving the said classroom, one of my students that was absent for class lay on the couch outside the classroom door. As we're all leaving he says, "What . . . is class over? I fell asleep right here." I said - "oh wow - well we had a quiz." I have zero sympathy for tiredness like that. Zero. I'm tough.
3) In the same class - the student that was supposed to give a presentation . . . forgot. Forgot! Well, I won't forget to flunk him. I won't.
P.S. We LOST our can opener - only to find that our roommate (whom we affectionately call Janet, from Three's Company) had it upstairs in her lair. Why she is eating cans of food in her bedroom is a mystery to all.

Hahahahaha.
Students are just strange. Period.
Freaking hilarious!
Do you really have a roommate? Or is this your IMAGINARY roommate?
Your students should really know that you do not tolerate that kind of tom foolery. It is just out of the question.
Wow Krissi! You make Cory's attendings look like Mary Poppins. You're tough! :D
I seriously don't get how these kids got into BYU.
